Truancy begins in the classroom
When we talk about young people who truant, we often generalise and see them as problems to be fixed, says Delia Baskerville. We need to see students as individuals who matter.
The Wellington Faculty of Education is uniquely placed in the capital city to offer exceptional research-led teaching and learning.
The Wellington Faculty of Education offers challenging and thought-provoking programmes to encourage students to put their study into practice. We equip our students with the knowledge to critically and creatively carve their own path in the world of education.
