About Te Pou Kaupapahere | Policy
Te Pou Kaupapahere | Policy provides high-quality education policy advice to support informed decisions by Ministers. We use evidence and partnerships to develop policy options that achieve government goals across the education system. This might include options for changes to funding, infrastructure, advice, rules, legislation and relationships. Our advice is based on te Tiriti o Waitangi and helping all ākonga succeed.
Every year we recruit a new cohort of Graduate Policy Analysts to join Te Pou Kaupapahere, our Policy community.
