Leanne Otene: New Zealand Principals' Federation President on the new education policies being implemented by the Government - The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin

There's pleas for the Government to hit the brakes on education overhauls, amid concerns changes are being implemented without sector consultation.

It follows commitments to crack down on cell phone bans, attendance and implement a structured literacy approach by 2025.

New Zealand Principals' Federation President Leanne Otene says it's importance to pace these changes for the benefit of educators.
