Education

We have a comprehensive understanding of New Zealand's education sector, from both policy and operational perspectives. 

We have assisted tertiary education providers implement, influence and comply with changes in legislation and policy.  We regularly advise organisations across the sector, from providers to regulators.  We assisted the Ministry of Education in the formulation of policy proposals and preparation of draft legislation for the reform of the tertiary education sector that resulted ultimately in the changes in 2002.  We are uniquely placed to assist the sector rise to the challenges ahead, as the National-led government targets further reform.
