An Open Letter to the Minister of Education

An Open Letter to the Minister of Education

Dear Phil,

Cartoon of kids comparing their dads careers

With the latest Education Gazette we received a pamphlet on the Educational Development Conference. I notice that the new symbol adopted for the Conferece with appropriate modification, looks surprisingly reminiscent of a snail.

In the past we have accused the Education Department of being impervious to change. A bureaucratic monolith stuck motionless in a prehistoric bog.

We have held great hopes for the Department under the new Labour Government. Unfortunately, change seems to be coming exceedingly slowly. We firmly hope that the snail does not represent, the speed at which Labour Party Education policy will be implemented.

Yours faithfully,

Graeme Clark,

Education Vice-President N.Z.U.S.A.
