National is lifting education and skills in our secondary schools. Last week, we passed legislation establishing Trades Academies.
Trades Academies are based on partnerships between schools, tertiary institutions, industry training organisations, and employers, and will give students a head-start in industry-related careers. Next year, we will open nine Trades Academies around New Zealand, followed by more in 2012.
The legislation also makes sure teachers who may be a danger to students can be suspended, and updates private school guidelines.
National is boosting education and skills as part of our six-point plan for a stronger economy. We’re committed to new approaches in education, and to reducing red tape and regulations.
