Thank you
Ka mau te wehi!! Nga mihi nunui ki nga mema o NZEI Te Riu Roa o nga hau e wha!
Thank you for your collective voice and actions at the rallies that took place around the country - such huge visibility which has been captured through media, articles, photos and videos!
Thank you for advocating on behalf of colleagues, worksites and communities - and most importantly, for children.
The dots are connecting around the GERM agenda, and on the firm foundation these rallies created, we are well positioned to continue fighting the GERM in all its forms.
Tena koutou tena koutou tena koutou katoa.
Judith Nowotarski
President Te Manukura, NZEI Te Riu Roa

The votes of the three Maori Party MPs are key to whether or not charter schools will proceed. They have already expressed concerns about the impact of charter schools on low-income communities, and that every child should have a qualified teacher.
It’s time to take action before the bill goes back to parliament in early May, and call on these MPs to vote against the Education Amendment Bill.
