Help shape the future of New Zealand education

The Ministry of Education would like to hear your views on the proposed amendments to the Education Act as it applies to schools, kura and early learning services.

Much has changed since the current Education Act became law in 1989, and it's time to bring it up to date and reflect New Zealand now, and in the future. This consultation presents ideas for change to help us get there. 

Growth in international education relies heavily on having high-performing schools across the country and, as international education providers, your views are important.

Consultation is now open and closes at 5pm on Monday 14 December 2015.

There are three ways to make a submission:

  1. Online, via MoE’s Consultation Hub, where you will find a video where Education Minister Hon Hekia Parata talks about the consultation, and a copy of the full discussion document.

  2. By emailing your submission to education.update@education.govt.nz

  3. By writing to: Education Act Update, Ministry of Education, PO Box 1666, Wellington 6140, New Zealand

What's in it for me?
