Changes to how schools and kura plan and report came into effect on 1 January 2023.

There are transitional arrangements in place until new regulations take effect from mid-2023, and ahead of schools and kura having their first strategic plans in place by 2024. You can find more information at Education and Training Act 2020: Improving schools’ planning and reporting.

As you may be aware (14 March Bulletin) , from 13 March to 6 April, we are consulting on draft Regulations, which provides the detailed requirements for key school planning and reporting documents. We are also engaging with schools, whānau and communities to help further develop material to support schools and communities with the changes.

You can view the draft regulations and support material at Kōrero Mātauranga.

As part of this consultation, we are holding some online workshops to run through the changes and gather feedback on the draft regulations and support material. Here are the options for workshop dates/times which you can select from:

• Wednesday 5 April – for parents, whānau, and communities – to share their thoughts on how they would like schools to work with them in their planning and reporting processes, to ensure that schools plans meet the needs of all learners.
  • 3:30pm – 5pm, or
  • 7pm – 8:30pm

If you would like to register for a workshop, please email planning.together@education.govt.nz with the date and time that you would like to attend.

If the dates above do not work for you, please email us to indicate that you would be interested in an alternative date, if we get enough interest we will add extra workshops.

If you are not available for attending an online workshop, you can also have you say via the online surveys on Kōrero Mātauranga website.
