More than two decades of reform across all aspects of teaching,
learning, assessment and management have transformed New Zealand's
education sector and set the bar for change in many other
countries.
We are acknowledged as being at the forefront of teacher training
and professional development.
Years of research have shaped training programmes to ensure New
Zealand teachers have the qualities required to respond to
education demands, and teachers are trained to the highest possible
professional standards.
Seven New Zealand universities offer internationally renowned
teaching qualifications, carry out innovative research and provide
ongoing professional development for teachers.
Our education industry includes training, consultancy and research
services. We have established competitive advantages in overseas
markets in a number of different fields of study, including
agriculture, aviation, education system development, and tourism
and hospitality.
Some of the New Zealand education industry's international
successes include:
- The key role New Zealand company PINZ (Polytechnics
International New Zealand Limited) played in the development of a
world-class polytechnic in Bahrain, designed to enhance the Middle
Eastern nation's economic growth and transform the economy
- Consulting company Cognition's work in the Gulf States. There
it worked closely with schools and policy agencies to improve
learning outcomes for students by providing knowledge and a range
of mentoring expertise. It has achieved impressive results, with
students in the schools where it is working consistently scoring
well in national testing. In Qatar, their parent company Multi
Serve is now a lead provider.
