- Description
Shows Minister for Social Development Paula Bennett smiling at the thought that the public are demanding a limit to class sizes. Context: Paula Bennett wants to introduce a controversial policy that will allow beneficiaries free birth control. The cartoon links this idea to an announcement by the Minister for Education Hekia Parata that class sizes be increased. This resulted in an immediate backlash by teachers and parents. Parata was forced to back down. Prime Minister John Key came to the rescue with assurances that no school would lose more than two teachers but had to admit National had no idea how this would impact on the $43 million a year savings that were to be diverted to improving teaching "quality".
