flag New Zealand finds 21 of 100 schools need outside help due to low performance and student challenges.

flag A New Zealand government review found that 21 of 100 schools recently assessed require external support or intervention, with issues including low attendance, poor academic performance, and high dropout rates without NCEA qualifications. flag Most affected schools serve communities facing significant socio-economic challenges. flag Recommendations include appointing statutory managers or commissioners to improve leadership and outcomes. flag While ERO noted recurring systemic problems, it did not confirm if intervention rates are rising, deferring such data to the Ministry of Education. flag Some school leaders worry the review process may discourage capable principals from taking on struggling schools. flag ERO is developing a tracker to monitor support needs.
