1 Empowering Our Future

2 The New Era story Building education capacity. We seek to revolutionise the delivery of the curriculum through leading edge technologies and thereby empower both teachers and students to become active participants in the 21st Century Across education, from students and teachers to ICT managers, New Era empowers educational organisations to bring the digital education revolution to life. Back in 1996, we set out to become recognised as New Zealand s leader in the delivery of next-generation education solutions. Our vision was to be the partner of choice for primary, secondary & tertiary education providers as well as the Ministry of Education working to enhance student achievement and promote new models of learning. It s been quite a journey, one that has taken us from a small education services provider to the largest integrated education solutions and services company in NZ. Following our merger in 2011 with Editure, New Era now spans New Zealand, Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States and brings unparalled global and local understanding of educational ICT solutions to our customers.
