As a member, you’re a part of a powerful collective who work together to create a better education sector for kaiako, ākonga and everyone that contributes to preparing our tamariki for the future.
Tamariki in Aotearoa are missing out because learning support is massively underfunded. Together, we can push the government to increase funding so a child can feel connected, supported and valued at school or in their early childhood education.
Early childhood teachers so an incredibly important job. But their pay is up to 52% behind kindergarten and primary with the same skills, qualifications and responsibilities. We believe the government needs to act now to fix the gap.
Initial Teacher Education (ITE) plays a vital role in our education system, preparing future teachers with the knowledge and skills they need to begin teaching.
Big work weeks, demanding expectations and a lack of proper support networks. Our school leaders deserve better.
In 2019, we took key steps towards a fairer, better resourced primary education sector. But there is still work to be done.
Kōhanga Reo kaimahi bring incredible skills and experience to an important kaupapa for tamariki Māori, but right now many kaimahi aren’t paid in a way that recognises their value and upholds their mana.
Join us in calling for better pay, conditions and outcomes in the education sector in Aotearoa.
