School decile ratings dumped - What are your thoughts?

Reporter Whangārei Leader

Minister of Education Chris Hipkins has announced the school decile system will be dumped by 2022 and replaced with an equity index.

This will give funding based on students' needs, including ethnicity, parents' income, benefit support, parents' criminal history and Oranga Tamariki involvement.

Some Northland principals are happy with this decision, while others are concerned they'll lose money with the changes. What are your thoughts?
