What's helping to improve the number of students leaving school with L3 NCEA Qualifications:
- strong leadership in schools and passionate teachers
- good mentoring , pathway programmes and pastoral care
- trades training available at MIT for 16/17 year olds
- alternative options of education
- digital tutoring
- access to after school educational resources and spaces
What's not helping to improve the number of students leaving school with L3 NCEA Qualifications:
- parents working two jobs
- leaving school early to contribute to wages in the home
- distraction by family commitments
- vocational pathways are skewed
- data skewed as a proportion of students are not being externally assessed (a high portion of these are in the low decile area)
- poverty - cost for extra curricula education
- poor housing
- poor nutrition
- gang influences
- Parent's own low educational achievement level
- low self esteem from all parties (parents/children)
- lack of expectation - why is education important...apathy
- not enough 'strong' role models (as to why education is important)
- lack of options of employment after school - with more physical/practical jobs which require limited or no education
