● Limit out-of-zone enrolments to decrease competition between schools.

● Replace the decile funding system with a proposed equity index, prioritising the most disadvantaged schools.

● Limit how much schools can ask for in donations.

● A learning support co-ordinator for every school to streamline access to services for disabled students.

● Disestablish the Education Review Office and New Zealand Qualifications Authority.

● Establish a new Education Evaluation Office reporting directly to Parliament on the performance of the Education Hubs and the Ministry of Education.
