117 However, ERO also reported that only half of the schools in the sample were effective in promoting achievements and outcomes of students.62 ERO went on to issue broad recommendations for schools and the Ministry of Education focused at improving the use of achievement data, increasing teacher capability, and improving the information available to school boards.63 118 Success for All 2010 – 2014 has now concluded. It has not yet been succeeded by a similar overarching strategy. While the Ministry of Education has affirmed the application of the inclusive education principles of Article 24 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities to primary and secondary schools64, the Education Act 1989 is yet to be updated to explicitly include or reflect those principles. 119 Parliament’s Education and Science Select Committee is undertaking an Inquiry into the identification of and support for students with dyslexia, dyspraxia, and autism spectrum disorders. The Inquiry may have significant implications for the education sector. A considerable number of students in New Zealand schools are affected by dyslexia (approximately 10% of the school population) and dyspraxia (6%). Students with autistic spectrum disorders are estimated to constitute around 1%. 120 Recently the Ministry of Education released its Special Education Update Action Plan. Under the Plan the Ministry of Education will lead a programme of work that will significantly redesign the system of education for students with additional learning needs. Locally led projects in communities around the country will be rolled out in 2016 to improve service delivery.65 Lessons learned from these projects will inform the redesign of the national service delivery model. The Government will be able to provide the Committee with an up to date report on the status of inclusive education. 62 Education Review Office, Inclusive practices for students with special needs in schools, March 2015, page 2, page 28 accessed http://ero.govt.nz/National-Reports/Inclusive-practices-for-students-with-special-needs-in-schools-March-2015/Nationalreport-summary 63 Education Review Office, ibid p3-4 64 Ministry of Education, Supports and Services for Learners with Special Education Needs/Disabilities April 2012 65 http://www.education.govt.nz/ministry-of-education/specific-initiatives/special-education-update/ Page 34 of 93 Human Rights Commission submission to the Human Rights Committee in relation to New Zealand’s 6th periodic review under the ICCPR
