Why aren’t we heard? Are we not loud enough? The community of Dyslexic kids faced the Government and did all they could to convince the government to do more for them when it came to better treatment from more qualified teachers. Fair treatment, earlier testing and more in-depth training is not all that hard to accomplish as told by many students that attend Kapiti College.

Sparked by Green MP Catherine Delahunty, the report from the inquiry into dyslexia, dyspraxia, and autism education, began in 2015. During submissions 20 Kapiti students spoke, highlighting the difficulties they had faced, and asking for change.

And as usual, the Government is dragging its feet with any positive response. The Government is viewing this as something that needs to change but not in any hurry to do it. They know and admit this with the majority of the recommendations seen as correct and necessary. So why not go on and rectify the problem now before it gets any larger? Because it’s the Government and no one rushes Uncle Sam, not even the ministers and ministry.
