League tables will lead to children missing out - NZEI
League tables of primary schools would provide a false picture of student achievement and school effectiveness and lead to children missing out in the end, the primary teachers union NZEI said today.
Secondary schools are failing around 400,000 children if the latest league tables are to be believed, with under 30 per cent of pupils getting five 'good' GCSEs and more than 50 per cent of schools sending most kids out into the world without decent qualifications.
