MINISTRY OF EDUCATION 'DRAGGING THE CHAIN' TO APPROVE KELSTON GIRLS AS BILINGUAL AND FULL SECONDARY SCHOOL
A west Auckland secondary school wants to be the first all-girls full secondary and bilingual school in the city of sails, but says the Ministry of Education is "dragging the chain" in processing its application.
Kelston Girls College wants to incorporate Maori and Samoan bilingual units, and extend its roll to accept students from Year 7 to 13, in a bid to boost achievement among Maori and Pasifika girls.
"We think that offering bilingual Maori and bilingual Samoan, together with an intensive literacy programme that will be offered through all subjects, is the way to go," Fox said.
