Please join us to mark the launch of our Education and Child Poverty Policy Papers — the next set of releases in our election year series on child poverty – Our Children, Our Choice: Priorities for Policy. Hear from our panel of educationalists then join in the public discussion to plan further action!
Guest Panelists:
- Assoc Prof Jenny Ritchie, ECCE policy paper lead author, UNITEC
- Dr Sarah Te One, noted academic and children’s rights advocate
- Janice Shramka, Principal Karori West Normal School, Wellington
- John Russell, Principal Naenae College, Lower Hutt
The panel will provide an overview of the impact of poverty on the education and lives of many children in New Zealand, and to support the immediate adoption by all political parties of child-focussed policies to reduce child poverty and mitigate its effects.
This will be followed by a discussion on how we, as the public can individually and collectively take action to bring about meaningful change for the 285,000 New Zealand children who through no fault of their own, live in poverty.

Awesome work CPAG and everyone involved.
You’d think the government would be putting this into their pre-election headlines – but no.
