Education and Training Act 2020, s 485(6); Teaching Council, Code of Professional Responsibility
All registered teachers have to follow the Teaching Council’s Code of Professional Responsibility.
The code states that teachers should have a comprehensive knowledge of te Tiriti and make it part of their teaching practice. For example, by:
using te reo correctly and often in class
teaching the history of Aotearoa New Zealand accurately.
If a teacher is going against this code, you might be able to use the code as basis to challenge them.
For more information, see “What do I do if I have a problem with a teacher” in “School governance and management”
