We believe that the Outdoors is at the heart of the NZ way of life and that education should involve an appreciation of this. We want to create an education system that teaches learners about their own unique community and outdoor environment so that they can develop a strong sense of belonging and connection to it.

We want to see a future where children grow up to become lifelong learners who are confident in, connected to and actively involved in the outdoors so they are inspired to engage in and contribute to an ecologically sustainable future.

We will invest heavily into education because we recognise that our people, their skills and knowledge are our greatest assets for the future. We will implement transformative change to our education system as recommended in the Tomorrow Schools Review to establish quality leadership models and support structures to ensure teachers workloads are manageable and teachers are valued. We want to ensure that teachers are well trained, supported and valued to provide the best practice and the best educational experience for all learners.

We believe that technology has its place in education and we will promote safe technology use in homes and education facilities.

Wi-Fi free schools policy throughout New Zealand early childcare centres and primary schools and all schools must adopt wired connections for all devices and computers within classrooms.

Minimise Wi-Fi at high school and  assist high schools to adopt wired connections for classrooms and learning areas.

Work with telecommunications companies such as Chorus to provide all schools with high-speed fibre optic wired-in connections.

We will promote safe technology as a useful tool for innovation that helps learners to think critically and creatively.
