Strong record of independent educational research
The New Zealand Council for Educational Research (NZCER) is New
Zealand’s only national, independent educational research organisation. We
conduct research and evaluation work with a range of public and private sector
clients, and we produce research-based tests, journals, books, and classroom
resources. We have a baseline funding agreement with the government which
enables us to build a coherent, future-focused research programme that
complements and enhances our contract work.
We take a teams-based approach to our work and we welcome collaborations. Our
commitment to a partnership with Mäori is demonstrated throughout our work
programme.
NZCER has:
- 25 researchers who
take a team approach
- a statistics team
- our own publishing arm, NZCER Press
- a Psychological Test Centre (PTC), which sells and
distributes education, psychological and human resources tests
- in-house expertise in curriculum, assessment and test design
- a comprehensive educational library, and in-house
sales and distribution.
Origins
NZCER
was established in 1934 through grants from the Carnegie Corporation. It became
a statutory body in 1945 and now operates under the NZCER Act 1972 (and
amendments). We are not formally attached to any government department,
university or other educational organisation.
