NZ's education system has been under a microscope this year, with overhauls on the cards for how we teach reading, writing, and maths. Earlier this month, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon said the Government was focused on "achievement in maths and reading and getting kids to school", but said that could be at the expense of subjects like art and music.
Matt Ealand, General Manager at Rockquest Promotions, says it doesn't have to be one or the other - it can be reading, writing, and rock'n'roll.
