Tech is a really important part of the school curriculum. Typical of National to fund the rich kids at the expence of the poor. Where is that poor kid you pretended to care about now John Key?

Children are the future and should be treated as assets to be invested in. Cutting funding to schools is telling the country you do not have a vested interest in the future of this country. Cuts of this nature will force more families to send their children to private schools thereby reducing the fundraising potential of public schools, by funnelling the funds from the wealthier parents into the private school fundraising efforts.

Already teachers are stretched with giving the kids the attention they need and deserve; increasing the class size is going to stretch them further!!

The government has seriously underestimated the depth of feeling on this one. There will be no winners with this policy.

Failure to do so would compromise the quality of New Zealand education for many years to come.

Technology, art and specialised ICT are key to a well-rounded education. These are the subject our children enjoy the most. It would be a shame to cut funding for these. Such cuts would be remembered by many generations.
