flag New Zealand is transferring teacher education oversight from the Teaching Council to the Ministry of Education, starting late 2025, to improve new teacher readiness.

flag New Zealand is reforming teacher education oversight by transferring key responsibilities from the independent Teaching Council to the Ministry of Education, citing concerns over new teachers' preparedness. flag The changes, set for implementation in late 2025 and mid-2026, include reducing the Council’s membership and increasing ministerial appointments, aiming to strengthen oversight and align governance with other regulatory bodies. flag While the Council will retain its role in certification and professional standards, critics warn the shift risks politicizing teacher qualifications and undermining long-standing professional autonomy.
