2442 (2010). Hon Trevor Mallard to the Minister of Education (18 Mar 2010): Of the 150,000 students she claims are failing how many does she believe are failing in maths?
Hon Anne Tolley (Minister of Education) replied: Because there is no nationally consistent student achievement data until students reach NCEA, there is no way of knowing how many students are leaving school without meaningful qualifications specifically because of their maths, reading, or writing skills.
