Support Staff Reports


Overview

We have gathered together a range of recent reports relating to Support Staff and the work they do in schools.  These relate to our four Key Goals under the FAIR DEAL Campaign of: Pay Equity, Support Staff Funding, Low Pay and Professional Recognition.

Support Staff - Collectively Making Resources Count

Collectively Making Resources Count is a report researched and written jointly by NZEI, the Ministry and STA. This is the first time the education sector as a whole has looked at how to ensure support staff can most effectively support children's learning. Please read the report, share it with colleagues and teachers.

Support Staff Job Evaluation Report

NZEI Te Riu Roa contracted an independent education specialist to examine support staff skills, responsibilities, experience and qualifications required by support staff jobs. Dr Celia Briar then compared support staff pay and skills with male dominated roles. The report supported the recommendations from the PaEE report findings and recommendations and gives a current picture of support staff roles and despite government assurance that pay equity will be addressed, the gap is still widening.

Pay and Employment Equity Report for the Compulsory Schooling Sector (PAEE)

This report was completed in 2008 and provides us with interesting comparisons and clear evidence of the inequities between male dominated and female dominated workforces. The report was only released following a request under the Official Information Act and to date the recommendations in this report have not been implemented by the government.
