About the Study

The study sits within the Curriculum Insights and Progress Study, a Ministry of Education–funded collaboration between Otakou Whakaihu Waka (University of Otago) and the Rangahau Matauranga o Aotearoa | New Zealand Council for Educational Research (NZCER).

It is grounded in Te Tiriti o Waitangi and commits to elevating matauranga Maori as a vital source of knowledge.

The study has three key components : learning area assessments, foundation assessments, and a research panel of schools.

Each year it assesses two of the eight New Zealand Curriculum learning areas with students in Years 3, 6, and 8, using rich assessment tasks administered by trained Kairangahau Kaiako in 160 schools across the country.

Foundation assessments track progress in reading, writing, and maths through annual online assessments.

The research panel of 40 schools provides insights to pilot innovative tools and deliver timely feedback on curriculum implementation and student learning.
