Ruth Shinoda: Head of Education Review Office's Education Evaluation Centre on new teachers not being set up to succeed

New teachers across the country are not being set up to succeed, according to the Education Review Office (ERO). 

Two thirds of principals are reporting new teachers coming into the role are unprepared, and a third of new primary teachers claim they are unprepared to teach science. 

The ERO is calling for more to be done. 

Ruth Shinoda, Head of ERO’s Education Evaluation Centre, tells Mike Hosking the combination of teachers themselves saying they don’t feel prepared, and their principals reiterating this is concerning.
