Expressions of Interest for Tirotiro Anō Panel – Report on the Proposal to Change the National Qualification

PPTA Te Wehengarua is calling for Expressions of Interest for Tirotiro Anō, an expert panel that will examine the proposal to change Aotearoa’s national qualification system. This is a significant opportunity for practising kaiako to contribute directly to the direction of assessment reform and the wider secondary pathway system.
The panel will include 8 to 10 members with strong insight into teaching and learning in Aotearoa. PPTA is seeking educators with experience in Māori education, equity and inclusion, neurodiversity, culturally responsive practice and the principles of a coherent qualification framework. Panel members will review research, engage with stakeholder voices and provide an independent report to the PPTA Executive and Annual Conference in September 2026.
If you are a kaiako with experience in equity, Māori education, neurodiversity, culturally responsive practice or the wider realities of schooling in Aotearoa, this is a valuable opportunity to contribute your expertise. A range of perspectives is important, particularly from those working closely with diverse learners and communities across the motu.
