An Education System That Creates Opportunity and Connection
New Zealand needs an education system that equips students with real-world skills, fosters connection between schools and families, and ensures every child has a pathway to success—whether in higher education, trades, or entrepreneurship.
At Unity Party, we believe in real solutions:
✅ Strengthening school-family connections – making schools hubs for community engagement, ensuring parents have a say in education.
✅ Early intervention & tailored learning support – increasing funding for neurodiverse and vulnerable students without requiring a formal diagnosis, ensuring they receive immediate assistance.
✅ Practical life and business skills – integrating entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and trade education into the curriculum so students graduate ready for the workforce.
✅ Addressing teacher shortages – targeted recruitment campaigns, competitive salaries, and professional development to support educators.
✅ Technology for all students – ensuring equal access to digital tools so learning isn’t limited by income or geography.
✅ Expanding tertiary education overseas – exploring NZ-accredited institutions in lower-cost countries to help students obtain New Zealand qualifications affordably.
✅ Fast-tracking skilled workers into the workforce – streamlining international qualification assessments, ensuring safety while reducing unnecessary barriers.
We’re building an education system that prioritizes connection, adaptability, and real-world skills to give every student the opportunity to thrive.
