新西兰教育工作者和毛利人领导人反对一项将教育控制集中化的法案,担心该法案会损害自治、公平和条约权利。 New Zealand educators and Māori leaders oppose a bill that centralizes education control, fearing it harms autonomy, equity, and Treaty rights.

新西兰校长联合会和几乎所有30名提交议会的议员都反对《教育和培训(系统改革)修正法案》,警告说该法案对课程、教学理事会和学校干预给予过度的部级控制。 New Zealand's Principals’ Federation and nearly all 30 submitters to Parliament oppose the Education and Training (System Reform) Amendment Bill, warning it grants excessive ministerial control over curriculum, the Teaching Council, and school interventions. 他们认为,该法案破坏了专业自主权,违背了国际最佳做法,有可能加剧不平等,并威胁到《威坦哲条约》的义务。 They argue the bill undermines professional autonomy, contradicts international best practices, risks worsening inequality, and threatens Treaty of Waitangi obligations. 包括教育工作者、父母和毛利人倡导者在内的批评者说,立法削弱信任,排斥毛利人的权威,可能使教学不专业化,担心术语含糊不清和匆忙改革。 Critics, including educators, parents, and Māori advocates, say the legislation erodes trust, marginalizes Māori authority, and could deprofessionalize teaching, with concerns over vague terms and rushed reforms.
