THE NZQA REVOLUTION: AN UNFORTUNATE EXPERIMENT?

It started out as a bold, reforming strategy designed to leapfrog New Zealand back to the top of the world in education excellence and enlightened learning. But now, 20 years on, the prognosis is not so good. Education is back at the top of the reformists' waiting list. They want to operate on the organ that was implanted to pump new life into every aspect of our education system, the New Zealand Qualifications Authority.

Has the introduction of NZQA and its rigid unit standards-based approach to education been, to coin a phrase, another "unfortunate experiment"?
