Auckland Primary Principals want education to stop being politicised.

A survey of 150 schools has found at least 45 minutes a day is currently being taught in each subject of reading, writing and maths.

National says it should be at least an hour, but educators say there's no value in that.

Auckland Primary Principals' Association president Kyle Brewerton says all parties are spouting ideology to get votes.

"Put your two cents worth in and push your ideas. The trouble is, every time we change Government that's millions and millions of dollars funding those changes. And often those changes serve no purpose and make no difference."
