Teachers under too much pressure to learn new curriculums - principal

An Otago Principal said teachers are struggling with extreme behavioural issues and a lack of specialist support and the last thing they need is to be dealing with curriculum changes. Pembroke School Principal Brent Godfery has written an open letter to Education Minister Erica Stanford saying teachers are under too much pressure learning to teach two new curriculums in about four months. He said they're already struggling with kids who're traumatised, and dealing with family dysfunction at home, and the extra pressure could see them leaving the profession, Brent Godfery speaks to Susana Lei'ataua.
