Product Description

When a grand old lady reaches 100 years she deserves a biography and that’s what Going theDistance is – an account of the history of Te Aho o Te Kura Pounamu, The Correspondence School.
The book details the evolution of Te Kura from 1922 when it was a one woman show with Miss Janet MacKenzie delivering instruction from a room in the old Government Buildings in Wellington to the large, complex organisation it is today.
At its heart, this is a story about the struggle for equity of access to education, starting with the country kids wanting the same educational opportunities as town kids and expanding to include children in hospital and those with disabilities, Maori students (from 1932) pregnant schoolgirls, special needs students, prisoners, and second chance education for those in adult education
