Principals are welcoming a new method for bringing students’ failing maths back up to standard. 

The Government's announced a trial programme over the first two terms of next year, for about 2000 Year 7 and 8 students behind in maths learning. 

It will use small-group tutoring and supervised online tuition for 30 minutes, up to four times a week. 

Auckland Primary Principals' Association President Kyle Brewerton says the hybrid system sounds good. 

He says the approach has some merit, because it identifies the fact that one size doesn't necessarily fit all.
