Signal Loss: What We Know About School Performance

As consumers, we like to make informed choices about the products and services we buy. Should choosing a school for our children be any different?

Signal Loss argues that though it is difficult to monitor school quality, it is vitally important to do so. Not only can monitoring of school quality identify problems. It can also identify best practice and help to spread it across the education system.

The first in a series of three reports, Signal Loss looks at the state of New Zealand’s schools and the way their performance is assessed and managed.
