Education in New Zealand can be divided into four areas:
- Early childhood education: for children aged between 2 and a half to 5 years
- Compulsory Sector/Primary school (ages 5-13 years)
- Compulsory Sectore /Secondary school (ages 13+)
- Tertiary Education (not compulsory - ages 16+)
Parents or guardians are legally responsible for ensuring a child is enrolled and receives government funded compulsory schooling from age 6 to 16 years. Education in New Zealand is free up to the age of 19.
Legislation states that every educational institution must treat a disabled student the same as an able-bodied student and offer special education for those with different needs.
Corporal punishment in an educational institution is against the law.
