Doyle, Martin, 1956- :'Starter question for all New Entrants...' 29 October 2012
Date: 2012
From: Doyle, Martin Maurice Michael Thomas, 1956- :Digital cartoons
By: Scoop (Firm)
Reference: DCDL-0023251
Description: Mock entrance test for 'New Entrants' to Ministry of Education, set by NCEA ('Not Even Close to Educational Acumen'). The 'Starter Question' asks about how to decribe the proposal to increase class sizes to 'better assist poor achievers': is it 'inane', 'something out of a donkey's nightmare', 'Dickensian' or 'not world-class'. All four answers are correct. Lesley Longstone, an English career bureaucrat, was appointed to the position of Chief Executive of Education. Despite her comments about asisting poorly achieving pupils, her past career in the English Department of Education and her acquiescence in proposals to increase class sizes did not promise well. 'Donkey's nightmare' refers to a recent nickname for the Prime Minister, John Key. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
