Labour's education policies have ruined the core maths skills of a generation of children

Maths performance ... late-1990s ... has been in decline since then

then Minister of Education Trevor Mallard of the Labour-led government rolled out the Numeracy Project

the Numeracy Project has returned little benefit at substantial cost

Dumbing down future Labour voters comes at a generational cost.   Modern NZ rugrats and their teachers cannot count or utilise core math that are required lifelong skillsets. 

A report every parent that cares about their kids core math skills should read.
