Summary[edit]

Description

The Education Act, 1877 provided free education for children from 5 to 15, but attendance was compulsory only for children between 7 and 13, for half the year. This reflected the importance of children’s labour in a largely rural economy. In 1900, attendance became compulsory for the whole year. Teaching opened a new area of employment for women.

Children's Day is celebrated in New Zealand on the first Sunday in March each year. It honours children as a taonga (Māori for treasure) and is a day families can relax and share in activities that honour this.
