Dear John,
Our Government is moving fast to deliver the change New Zealanders
voted for at the last election, including by rebuilding our economy
after years of mismanagement under Labour.
To help get our economy back on track, we’ve already stopped work
on Labour’s Jobs Tax and Auckland Light Rail, repealed the Ute Tax and
got the Reserve Bank solely focused on reducing inflation. We’re also
underway with getting public sector spending under control.
A good future indicator of a strong economy is how many of our
young people are in school and achieving today, and while the return
of the school year this week has been exciting for a lot of young
Kiwis, far too many are not showing up for school. On top of that,
NCEA pass rates have fallen for a third consecutive year.
Making sure our kids are in school, learning, and mastering the key
skills they need to succeed is a key priority for me.
That’s why this Government has made it mandatory for primary and
intermediate schools to teach at least an hour each of reading,
writing and maths every single day. We’re also banning phones in
classrooms from next term so young people are focused on learning.
These changes have the potential to set students up for success and
we all need to make sure kids are in school. Every single day of
learning matters.
Here are some other changes you may have missed this week:
The Government is working hard to deliver our 100-day plan, focused
on rebuilding the economy, restoring law and order and delivering
better public services, and the actions we’ve already taken are just
the beginning.
Thank you,
Christopher
P.S. I would like you to think about joining thousands of New
Zealanders who are members of the National Party to shape the future
of our country for this generation and the next.
