Career education and guidance
Boards are responsible for ensuring that their school is giving effect to the New Zealand Curriculum or Te Marautanga o Aotearoa, the National Education Goals and the National Administration Guidelines. This includes ensuring the school provides appropriate career education and guidance for all students in year 7 and above.
The board's role is to:
- ensure that the career education and guidance needs of all students and the aspirations of their communities are reflected in the school’s strategic planning and reporting
- ensure that the school’s community, in particular Māori and Pasifika, have opportunities to contribute to career education and guidance strategies
- ensure there is an appropriate level of funding and resources to meet the career education needs of the students
- encourage a whole-school approach to career education.
