The Favourite Teachers Awards - nominate the teacher who inspired you or your children
From Dumbledore in Harry Potter, to Mr Holland in Mr Holland's Opus, to Miss Honey in Roald Dahl's famous Matilda, great teachers inspire us all. In New Zealand, Kiwi IT developers are giving teaching a hi-tech upgrade with the creation of robotic maths tutor Amy - but even they admit robots will never replace the real thing. Nominations are now open for the Favourite Teacher Awards – tell us about the teacher who has inspired you or your children.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
