Teacher to child ratios - Year 0/1 ratio - 15

3/4 - 20-22
5/6 - 22/24

Number scale can also be based on SEN students. 

Enough classrooms so NE don't end up with one more teacher and no extra class or being put in the library or music room.
LSR (Learning Support Register) - used for helping with funding and access to support staff for students. 
Teacher Aides paid better so they are consistently employed and kept through the child's school career - whanaungatanga.
Hours of TA not changed termly/yearly - job stability.

Cutting back on bureaucratic red tape - applications for many things including at management level. 

Forward thinking planning - not knee-jerk reactions to staffing and building projects.
