“请听专家的话”:工会称特许学校将违反劳动法

Share:

国会教育和劳动力特别委员会正在讨论一项法案,以恢复公共资助的私立学校,即特许学校。工会理事会(CTU)声称该立法将违反劳动、人权和贸易协议。CTU的艾琳·波拉克祖克提到,该法案最近的一项修改将阻止特许学校的工作人员加入集体协议,这可能违反国际劳动规则。

波拉克祖克还表示,教育部警告说,该法案可能与与英国和欧盟的自由贸易协定相冲突。这可能会迫使公立学校的教师在特许学校工作,该部认为这可能违反劳动协议和《权利法案》规定的权利。有关该问题的法律咨询说明后来因享有法律特权而从监管影响声明中删除。

首席监察员彼得·波希尔告诉委员会,将特许学校排除在《官方信息法》(OIA)之外将减少它们对学生、家长和纳税人的责任。他认为,所有使用公共资金的学校都应透明,家庭应平等地获得信息。

前特许学校校长阿尔温·普尔支持波希尔的观点,并计划申请四所特许学校。他驳回了关于特许学校教师收入低于公立学校教师的说法。

教育研究协会认为,没有必要设立特许学校。发言人布朗温·伍德指出,新西兰的学校已经有了很大的自由度,更多的学校选择将主要使较富裕的家庭受益,从而加剧不平等现象。她说,瑞典的类似学校系统在30年后失败了。

安·肯登老师对花钱购买新西兰不需要的学校类型表示担忧。她怀疑特许学校能否提供比公立学校更好的成绩。她的同事菲利普·肯登指出,公立学校系统促进教师合作,这有助于改善教育。他说,尽管州制度可以改善,但已经运作良好,没有必要设立特许学校。

两位老师都敦促委员会听取毕生致力于公立学校教学的教育专家的意见。他们要求不要继续执行特许学校的提案。
