Educational technology 2
New Zealand has a highly developed education system that ranks among the top in international assessments. It has consistently placed high in worldwide rankings for mathematics, science, reading and overall education quality. While Kiwi schools have integrated technology into classrooms, an international study found New Zealand had the second highest rate of school bullying. In response, the government invested $60 million into an anti-bullying initiative. Recently, high-speed broadband internet has been rolled out across Kiwi schools, supporting the strategic goal of developing students' technology skills and digital learning.
