The Green Party wants education to be free and available to everyone, from preschool through to university. They would write off student loan debt and make early childhood education fully funded. They want schools to include Māori language and culture, and to better support students with disabilities or health needs. They want communities, staff, students, and Māori to have more say in how schools and other education organisations are run.
“Providing fees-free tertiary education and writing off all student loan debt. (2.7.1 & 2.7.3)”
“Learners can access quality free education that responds to the diverse needs and aspirations of people and their communities.”
“Establishing a single agency to coordinate and resource specialist supports for learners with health and disability support needs. (3.3.5)”
