Mātau rōpū ake | About our ministry, group, and team


At Te Tāhuhu o te Mātauranga, we work to provide services and support nationally, regionally and locally to the education sector, and in some cases, directly to ākonga and whanau.

To better deliver on this, we are undergoing an organisational design change. The transition phase to improve the way we deliver our purpose will be complete in 2023.


Te Pae Aronui was established within Te Mahau to provide the education sector with support and services that are more locally responsive, more accessible, and integrated.

It is the place where everything Te Tāhuhu does for ākonga can come together.

We gather insights, regulate, have service design and delivery functions, understand ākonga, whānau, communities and businesses - and use that to shape and influence the direction of education in Aotearoa New Zealand.


As part of Te Mahau, we work with whānau, hāpu, iwi, early learning services and schools / kura, to support ākonga and kaiako to create interactions in the magic space where learning happens.


We have a critical role to support a proactive and future-focused Te Tāhuhu that delivers on equity and excellence for all ākonga.

By 2025, we aspire to transform Te Pae Aronui so that:

people are thriving, connections are strong, the system is sound and we are producing equitable outcomes for ākonga and whānau.


As of April 3rd Strategy and Integration moves into the Design Group of Te Pae Aronui, our function will be to influence through strategic integration any sector change and implementation objectives that are being worked in design either regionally led or nationally guided.

Our influence in the business will create impact.
