Lifting student achievement

National is changing the way the Ministry of Education supports teachers and pupils. We have announced targeted funding and support for children identified through National Standards as needing extra help.

At least 50 expert practitioners from the Ministry and the education sector will be appointed to work closely with schools, use student data to assess where support will be most effective, and make sure schools get help sooner.

We’re also investing $36 million in new intervention programmes for students who need extra support in reading, writing and maths outside classroom teaching.

The Ministry of Education will also change its approach to professional development for teachers and principals to focus squarely on lifting student achievement.
