Erica Stanford: National's Education Spokesperson slams Labour's legacy in schools after NCEA data released
The National Party is slamming Labour's legacy in schools.
Education Ministry data shows last year 75 percent of school leavers attained NCEA Level 2 or above - down from 81 percent in 2017.
Maori school leavers fared worse - with just 59 percent getting NCEA level two or above.
National's Education Spokesperson Erica Stanford told Kate Hawkesby she's not surprised.
She says it's been a trend that the stats have gone down every single year since 2017.
