Some positive shifts in how schools support student wellbeing are also evident, and teachers and schools are more alert to students’ mental health needs.
Parents’ views of their child’s school experience and learning remain positive. More parents saw their child’s teachers as committed and enthusiastic, and felt their child’s cultural identity was recognised and respected than in 2016.
“There are some really positive changes occurring in primary schools”, Dr Cathy Wylie, Chief Researcher, said. “However, the survey findings also point to the need for schools to have more support.”
The NZCER 2019 national survey of primary schools was sent to principals, teachers, school trustees, and parents at a representative sample of 350 primary and intermediate schools. Responses were recieved from 145 principals, 620 teachers from 181 schools, 126 trustees, and 395 parents from 170 schools. Although the survey response rate were relatively low, the responses came from a broadly representative spread in terms of school characteristics.
