As part of the National Survey of Schools project, part of NZCER's Te Pae Tawhiti programme of research, we collaborated with the New Zealand Area Schools Association (NZASA) to survey area school teachers between 15 June and 21 July 2023. A total of 652 area teachers across 64 area schools completed the survey, with questions focusing on: (1) Views on the year ahead; (2) Support for Maori students; (3) Support for Pacific students; (4) Student wellbeing; (5) Teachers' working experiences, career plans, and support; and (6) Professional learning and development (PLD). This data report provides a summary of teacher responses to the survey, providing an aggregate picture of teachers' experiences of working in area schools.
