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.

The success of any group always relies heavily on the strength of the leadership. Our primary principals are taking on that crucial role in our schools, ensuring that staff, students and parents all get what they need from the school.
The Pūaotanga Repoet was an independent review of staffing in primary schools which paints a dire picture of our schools.
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.
