About NZCER
Established in 1934, NZCER is Aotearoa New Zealand’s independent research and development organisation, operating under its own legislation since 1945. The NZCER Act 1972 provides us with a mandate to carry out and disseminate education research, and provide independent information, advice, and assistance. The Council (Board) provides governance as we work to fulfil our purpose.
We draw on a rich heritage of, and play an active part in, shaping the future of education. We use the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi as the founding document of Aotearoa to help us uphold mana Māori in our work, relationships, and ways of working.
