A NZ teachers' union claims secondary schools are facing $63 million in cuts, while having to pay more for KiwiSaver contributions.



Post Primary Teachers Association President Robin Duff says the Government has been sly in saying education would get more funding, when in reality money is being stripped from schools.



He says schools also face being stripped of $24 million in the guise of quarterly funding.



Mr Duff says there needs to be clarity around exactly where the cuts are going to be made.



The Government has claimed that there would not be any cuts to health or education. Are they now telling porkies to New Zealand?
