An Auckland principal is sick of education policy being used for "soundbites" in the lead up to elections.
Kyle Brewerton, Auckland Primary Principals' Association (APPA) president and Remuera Intermediate principal, says policy promises often fall on individual teachers to carry out, with no thought given to how to resource them.
The Association surveyed 150 principals on pre-election policies, such as banning cellphones, and mandating strict time periods for reading, writing, and maths.
Brewerton spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
