- Full-time role through to end of January 2026
- Be a key part of our NCEA Change Programme across the Secondary-Tertiary education sector

Help us shape the future of education
He mea tārai e mātou te mātauranga kia rangatira ai, kia mana taurite ai ōna huanga
At Te Tāhuhu o te Mātauranga | The Ministry of Education, we work nationally, regionally and locally to help shape education for ākonga across the early learning, school, and tertiary systems.
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 projects, we all strive every day to make the biggest difference we can for our ākonga in our education system.
Our overarching purpose is to shape an education system that delivers equitable and excellent outcomes.
Right now, we are making significant changes to how we deliver our purpose.
At the secondary school level, we want to ensure ākonga are prepared for modern life in Aotearoa New Zealand, whether they choose to go on to tertiary education, join the workforce, or do something else entirely.
That's why we are making changes to NCEA to make the qualification more accessible and robust, grant equal status to mātauranga Māori, provide clearer pathways to further education and work, and more.
This is a huge undertaking involving massive community engagement and effort and coordination from many teams within the Ministry. It represents the largest change to secondary schooling since NCEA was introduced in the early 2000s and determines the trajectory of schooling in Aotearoa for years to come.
Mātau rōpū ake | About our group and team
The Secondary Tertiary team sits within the Te Poutāhū and covers the transition from senior secondary through to tertiary and employment.
Te Poutāhū delivers and maintains critical services to support responsive learner pathways from early childhood into further education, training, the workforce, and society. Te Poutāhū performs a crucial role working between the strategy and policy teams, and the sector facing functions. The Secondary Tertiary team is responsible for operational policy, curriculum and support programmes for Year 11-13 learners, and the secondary-tertiary interface. This includes senior secondary curriculum, NCEA (including implementing the NCEA Review changes through the Review of Achievement Standards (RAS)) and secondary-tertiary programmes.
