Dunedin Principals meet Sue Moroney

The Otago Branch facilitated a meeting between Principals from Oamaru, Balclutha and Dunedin with the Labour spokesperson on Education, Sue Moroney. We had Dunedin South MP Clare Curran, Dunedin North MP Pete Hodgson, and labour candidate David Clarke all present so the Principals had a good opportunity to discuss national standards and what the current Opposition would do about them if elected to government. The Otago Daily Times ran an article about the meeting (in conjunction with an ECE story) http://www.odt.co.nz/news/dunedin/172664/early-education-not-about-...

The local TV channel 9 also ran a clip about the meeting http://www.ch9.co.nz/content/another-wave-protest-against-national-standards
