To support these changes, the Ministry confirms four additional teacher-only days are available for primary and secondary schools – two in 2023 and two in 2024.
These additional teacher-only days are to be used to support implementation activities across The New Zealand Curriculum refresh, the re-design of Te Marautanga o Aotearoa and the NCEA Change Programme. These days will be supported by the Ministry.
Primary and secondary schools Boards are encouraged to co-ordinate the timing of these teacher-only days. Co-ordinating these Teacher Only Days across locations will create opportunities for schools to collaborate – as well as providing parents and whānau with children in more than one school a more joined-up approach to these days.
