By investing in education - NEXT aims to empower the young people of today and the leaders of tomorrow.
Ako Mātātupu: Teach First NZ ticks both of those boxes. It’s a programme that recruits top University graduates and career changers, who undergo an intensive teacher training course then go on to teach at some of the most challenging schools in New Zealand. The participants often develop into educational leaders - and the young people they teach get the benefit of a high calibre teacher.
In this newsletter we bring you an edition of NEXT Outlook with the Chief Executive of Ako Mātātupu: Teach First NZ, Jay Allnutt, who discusses how philanthropy and partnerships are helping address the inequities in our education system.
We also bring you a heart warming video from another NEXT education initiative, Talking Matters. Two and a half year old Te Amio-whenua is a walking, talking advertisement for this project - the story is well worth the watch.
Humanitix has launched in New Zealand with some support from NEXT - we share details of this not-for-profit supporting education, and another good news story from Project Janszoon - where 24 kākā have been released into the wild in the Abel Tasman National Park the first time in living memory.
Yours in education and the environment

By Jay Allnutt, CEO Ako Mātātupu:Teach First NZ
In this edition of NEXT Outlook Jay Allnutt explains how partnerships work, why they are needed and what role philanthropy plays.
Talking Matters - A Star is Born
Te Amio-whenua is not even three - but she is walking, talking proof of the power of early conversation. She and her whānau share the experience of applying the Talking Matters kaupapa in the first thousand days of a baby’s life.
Kia Ora Humanitix!
A ticketing platform that channels profits from booking fees into education initiatives launches in New Zealand - with the support of NEXT.
Kākā released into Abel Tasman National Park
The sound of kākā can be heard in the Abel Tasman National Park for the first time in living memory. Twenty- four of the endangered parrots were released last month - in this video Robyn Janes follows them from rearing to release.
