In central Tauranga on the fourteenth there was a march with around eight hundred people protesting against the proposed changes of our education system.
There were support staff, parents, teachers and education professionals within the large crowd. Every single one was against the privatisation of education and introducing charter schools and league tables.
Though there were eight hundred in the Bay of Plenty there were many more people across the country making the total count of people who were against the changes up to roughly one hundred thousand plus.
I was there and it was so cool. People everywhere were shouting, "Stand up for kids! Protect our schools!" and people played drums to the chant. I was with my mum, my brother and my mum's friend. I found what they were all saying once we had stop very interesting and listened the whole time. The government should let the people run us.
