Excellence and Equity in Literacy Education: The Case of New Zealand
English
Literacy is arguably the most important goal of schooling as, to a large extent, it determines young childrens educational and life chances and is fundamental in achieving social justice. New Zealands literacy education programme has long been regarded as one of the worlds most successful approaches to teaching literacy skills to young children. Excellence and Equity in Literacy Education questions this widely held assumption. In the late 1990s the New Zealand government developed a national literacy strategy aimed at reducing persistently large inequities in literacy achievement outcomes. The chapters in this edited volume present evidence indicating that the national literacy strategy has failed, examine the major factors responsible for the continuation of New Zealands comparatively wide spread of scores in literacy achievement, and describe the most effective strategies for reducing the literacy achievement gap and achieving excellence and equity in New Zealand literacy education.
