Education
Our primary and secondary schools employ more than 50,000 teachers, teaching 760,000 students, and more than 400,000 students are enrolled in tertiary education. Government expenditure on education at all levels is more than $12 billion annually.
High-quality education equips all New Zealanders with the knowledge, skills and values to be successful citizens. Having a skilled workforce is also crucial to increasing economic growth and productivity. Education also has critical relevance for a wide range of public policy issues – for example, training and retraining are key levers for welfare reform, high-quality education drives social mobility, and international education is one of New Zealand’s most valuable service exports.
