Education Aotearoa
Education Aotearoa is a brand new magazine, launched by NZEI Te Riu Roa to inspire, inform and celebrate New Zealand’s educators.
Education Aotearoa aims to set new standards of publication in the education sector by engaging readers in a lively journal that enhances their professional life.
Educators are flooded with paperwork – so Education Aotearoa works to high-quality editorial and production values so teachers can cut to the chase on the key of issues of the day.
We run in-depth features that investigate what’s really going on behind the headlines – we have a passion for truth and justice, as well as an acceptance of the facts and realities of the world we work in. We tell educators where to find the latest resources and research. We give critics and advocates a voice – and we remind educators why they chose to work in such amazing jobs.
Around 90 percent of principals, teachers and other educators in schools and kindergartens in New Zealand belong to NZEI – and membership is growing, particularly in early childhood.
