The Educational Institute is urging its members to call for a halt of the roll-out of 623 new special education jobs which it says are flawed, unworkable and inequitable.
The union has asked principals to decide by the end of this week if they want to delay the introduction of the Learning Support Coordinators and hold an urgent summit with government ministers.
The president of the NZEI's principals council, Stephanie Madden told RNZ education correspondent, John Gerritsen, the new jobs are not sufficiently hands-on with disabled children.
