Major education shake-up to review 'Tomorrow's Schools'
The government's planning a three-year makeover of the education system with the aim of ensuring the sector keeps pace with the modern world. In its sights are home-based early childhood education, school property, struggling polytechnics and the Tomorrow's Schools system that has underpinned more than 2,000 schools since 1989. Education Minister Chris Hipkins says too much education policy is rooted in the past and the government wants to make major changes. Education correspondent John Gerritsen tells us what it all means.
