Our organisation is made up of talented and committed people around Aotearoa, from a wide range of backgrounds and cultures. While we work in different groups and on different things, we all strive every day to make the biggest difference we can for our ākonga in our education system.
Te Tāhuhu o te Mātauranga recognises the partnership founded under Te Tiriti o Waitangi between Māori and the Crown. We are committed to having Te Tiriti o Waitangi at the forefront of our work for and with Māori students, their whānau, hapū and iwi.
Te Tāhuhu o te Mātauranga | the Ministry of Education is changing how it works to better support educators and the ākonga and whānau they serve. We have taken the opportunity to look right across our organisation and redesign ourselves in ways that will strengthen how we deliver locally, regionally and nationally integrated services, and how we provide support and challenge to drive improvements across the education system.
Our transformation started in 2021 with the creation of Te Mahau. Te Mahau provides services and support for education staff and leaders, ākonga and whanau.
Te Poutāhū (the Curriculum Centre) delivers strengthened and inclusive curriculum leadership, expertise and partnering for the New Zealand Curriculum, Te Marautanga o Aotearoa and Te Whāriki, as well as providing resources for quality teaching. Te Poutāhū will bring together curriculum, teaching expertise and evidence for the development, support and review of inclusive curricula, assessment and NCEA.
