Episode: Harpreet Singh: Are parenting doing enough for their kid's education?
Description: Literacy and numeracy rates in New Zealand are still shameful compared to other countries in the OECD. 23% of year 8 students are at the curriculum benchmark for maths following recent curriculum changes from the Government, up from 22% in 2023. Teachers in recent years have put the blame on parents, saying kids are starting school without the basics. Harpreet Singh is the founder of SIP Abacus New Zealand, and he joins for Parent Squad. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
