What related websites does the Ministry of Education link to?

The Ministry of Education's own site, education.govt.nz, links out to a set of affiliated websites under an "Our websites" section. These are separate destinations for specific audiences and purposes: Education Gazette for sector news, job vacancies, notices, and professional development; Education Workforce for people exploring teaching as a career or developing one in New Zealand; and Tāhūrangi for curriculum and teaching resources. If you are looking for news, a teaching job, career-change information, or classroom material, start with the relevant affiliated site rather than the main ministry homepage.

The affiliated sites listed under "Our websites"

The homepage presents these as a distinct group, separate from the popular links and key initiatives sections. Based on the site's own descriptions:

The Ministry also points to a full index — "View all websites" — so the group above is not necessarily the complete list. If the site you need is not shown on the homepage, use that link to see the rest.

Which site to use for what

News, notices, and sector information

Education Gazette is the destination for articles aimed at the education sector, along with notices and professional development listings. Use it when you want sector-facing coverage rather than ministry announcements — the ministry's own "Latest news" and "Have your say" sections stay on education.govt.nz.

Job vacancies

Vacancies sit on Education Gazette, not on the main ministry site. If you are searching for a role in a school or education organisation, go there directly.

Becoming a teacher or developing your career

Education Workforce covers entering the profession in New Zealand and career development within the sector. This is the starting point for career-change questions, rather than the ministry homepage.

Curriculum and teaching resources

Tāhūrangi is the platform for curriculum and teaching material. Note that curriculum updates themselves are announced on education.govt.nz — for example, the first release of Years 11 to 13 subjects and the updated Te Marautanga o Aotearoa for Tau 0–10 — while the resources to teach them live on the resource platform.

Where these fit on the homepage

The "Our websites" section sits alongside other homepage groupings, so it helps to know what stays on education.govt.nz:

• POPULAR LINKS — Terms and holidays, Find a school, Parent Portal, Licensing criteria, Collective agreements
• Key initiatives — Attendance, Improving achievement, Learning support
• Latest news — ministry news and updates
• Have your say — public consultations, such as the review of Initial Teacher Education Programme Requirements and proposed enrolment schemes
• Our websites — the affiliated destinations described above

In short: practical parent and school-finding tools, initiatives, news, and consultations stay on the ministry site; sector news, vacancies, workforce career information, and teaching resources move to the affiliated sites.
