New Zealand's education sector is set for a major shake-up as the Green Party has slammed the National Party's proposed changes to the Education Act. The legislation, which has been introduced to Parliament, would significantly alter the role of the New Zealand Teachers Council, the professional body responsible for setting teaching standards and overseeing the registration of teachers. Critics argue that the changes would undermine the council's authority and potentially compromise the quality of education in New Zealand. The Green Party claims the move is a backdoor attempt to erode the council's independence, sparking concerns among teachers and education experts about the long-term implications for the sector.
