A major study has found no change in children's average maths achievement since 2018.

The National Monitoring Study of Student Achievement assessed 4000 Year 4 and Year 8 children in term 3 last year.

It found pupils' average achievement was not statistically different to results from the previous assessment in 2018.

Education correspondent John Gerritsen has been looking at the report.
