For 20 years, our education system has quietly failed kids while the adults argued ideology, avoided accountability, and buried the data. Today, Duncan takes a hard look at why that matters and why things are finally changing.
We unpack the introduction of clear, national assessments and honest reporting in schools, why literacy and numeracy were allowed to slide for decades, and how measuring properly kills excuses fast. The results are already uncomfortable and hopeful at the same time, especially for Māori students who were written off under the old system and have surged ahead in weeks, not years.
Duncan also calls out the media silence around genuine reform, explains why bad news gets clicks while good news gets buried, and shares a very personal story about narrowly escaping serious injury after a freak accident at home.
Accountability, truth, and transparency. This is what real change looks like.
