Abstract

Looking back on 2009, it would seem that change was the new condition of our educational lives. This is perhaps unsurprising given  that  the  new  National-led  government  elected  in November 2008 was voted in on a promise of educational reforms and took up its reins just when the global recession started to hit New Zealand’s shores.

The papers in this issue consider some of the changes experienced within the education sector during the first year of National’s term in office, as well as link back to historical issues and forward to possibilities for change in the future. In keeping with the kaupapa of this journal, the papers provide both commentaries on system-level policy as well as analysis of the implementation of policies in specific sectors from early childhood to tertiary.
