The Opportunities Party wants to make education better for children of all ages. They plan to improve early childhood centres by limiting their size and making sure teachers are paid the same as school teachers. They want schools to teach civics, reduce screen time, and better support disabled children. They also want to pay teachers well and fund community night schools so adults can keep learning.
“Opportunity will establish a 10-year cross-party plan for education, focussed on stability for students, support for teachers and modernising learning for the future.”
“To end New Zealand's teacher shortage for good, Opportunity will advocate for reforms within the 10 year plan that address the high workload, poor pay and workforce planning issues that our educators face every day.”
“Students and teachers deserve better than endless restructures. They deserve an education plan that lasts.”
