Luxon's Reading Problems - 22nd August 2024

Today on the show... The flakey claims of PM Christopher Luxon. First he claimed our kids were failing a standard that they hadn’t even been tested on. Now it’s a claim of his that 88 percent of young Maori can’t read… but whoops that was 100 percent wrong. What’s the truth? Have our kids gone backwards in reading, writing and maths? When did that first happen and what do we need to be doing about it? Comedian Chris Parker is a busy man. Season 2 of his show, Double parked is just about to launch on Three. The next day his live show kicks off at the Winter Comedy Festival Special. We chat to him for all the details. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
