Government funding to pay teacher registration fees and levy through to 2028 announced
Today, Monday 28 April, the government has made a pre-budget announcement for the teaching profession, covering their registration fees and levy, for the next three years, starting 1 July, 2025.
The Governing Council has not yet made any decisions following consultation on a new fee and levy. However, the government has committed to pay the new fee and levy.
It is important to note that this change addresses the question of who pays rather than how much is paid.
We celebrate this announcement with the teaching profession. We commit to continue to strengthen the mana of teaching, so teachers can change lives. Teachers shape the future, and we’re dedicated to uplifting and empowering the profession, maximising both individual potential and collective impact.

Setting young brains up to take the next leap in their learning.
Each day, as a child questions, explores, and makes sense of the world, a teacher is there — not just watching, but shaping.
With expertise and intention, teachers build the brain pathways that support learning, confidence, and resilience. Growth, guided by skilled professionals who understand how young minds develop.
The Teaching Council of Aotearoa invites you to see teaching in a new light.
Because teaching shapes what matters most.
