In a school or kura we are the people that do essential work alongside teachers and principals. We support ākonga in the classroom, manage school offices and administration, libraries and science labs and much more – our work is made up of many threads. Together we are building power to win improvements to our collective agreement – with fair pay, job security and the professional learning and development we need – the essentials!
Kua manawanui a NZEI Te Riu Roa ki te mātātoa me te manaaki, Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Ko te whakapono ko te mana o te kotahitanga, me te mahitahi. Kia whakatūturu ngā mōtika me ngā whaipānga hoki. Kia whakaute i ngā Māori me ngā mema katoa hei anga whakamua rātou.

He nui ngā tamariki o Aotearoa kāore i te whai wāhi ki te mātauranga i te mea he iti noa te tautoko ā-pūtea i te tautoko akoranga. Ko te hua o ngā take pūtea me ngā wā tatari tino roa, he nui ngā tamariki kāore i te whiwhi i te tautoko e tika ana e puāwai ai rātou. Mā te mahi ngātahi, ka taea te uruhi i te kāwanatanga ki te whakapiki i ngā pūtea tautoko kia rongo te tamaiti i te wairua tūhonohono, tautoko, ā, kia whai uara ia i te kura, i tōna whare ako kōhungahunga rānei.
