Ecological sustainability is part of the values in the
Ministry of Education curriculum.
The 2009 Government Budget removed funding for Education for Sustainability, effective from December.
By 2018 1,161 schools used Enviroschools, founded by Te Mauri Tau in the late 1990s, with funding from the
Ministry for the Environment and regional councils. Enviroschools take part in activities such as
tree planting, recycling, sustainable transport.
