The New Zealand Council for Educational Research (NZCER) is New Zealand’s only national, independent educational research organisation. We conduct research and evaluation work with a range of public and private sector clients, and we produce research-based tests, journals, books, and classroom resources. We have a baseline funding agreement with the government which enables us to build a coherent, future-focused research programme that complements and enhances our contract work.

We take a teams-based approach to our work and we welcome collaborations. Our commitment to a partnership with Mäori is demonstrated throughout our work programme.

NZCER has:

• 25 researchers who take a team approach
• a statistics team
• our own publishing arm, NZCER Press
• a Psychological Test Centre (PTC), which sells and distributes education, psychological and human resources tests
• in-house expertise in curriculum, assessment and test design
• a comprehensive educational library, and in-house sales and distribution.
