Kōriporipo

Kōriporipo is the largest survey of the early childhood sector in Aotearoa in recent years. 

It shines a light on the immense pressures facing early childhood education (ECE) kaiako and kaimahi, as well as the experiences of parents and whānau.

The first report in 2023 focused on teachers and staff. However, from 2024 the voices of parents and whānau are included – now as a stand-alone report. 
 

Parents and whānau survey

This year is the most impressive turn-out of parents and whānau yet, with more than 800 people taking part.

The majority now support the establishment of a public system of early childhood education that’s free to attend – like schools.

Early childhood education workforce survey

Thousands of early childhood education kaiako and kaimahi in all types of services have participated in Kōriporipo since 2023.

It cements the survey as a key indicator for issues in Aotearoa New Zealands’s early childhood education system.
