Spent most of the day at a meeting at Auckland University as a member of a secondary school princpal's group advising on the Youth 2007 survey.
This is a survey of youth in New Zealand and factors around there work. It is a follow up on a survey done in 2000. The 2000 survey has some wonderful data about the risks around our youth and the 2007 survey is even better.
I look forward to the information coming out next year.
One of the concerns we talked about is how the data will be used. Will it be just another opportunity to bemoan negative statistics around various health, ethnic and education data or will a brave person use it to drive real change?
