Mātauranga Knowledge and research pack

Kete means basket or kit. This is the assembl specialist pack for knowledge work: agents, tools, live knowledge, review rules, and evidence packs.

NCEA reporting, attendance, board prep — secondary-school admin compliance that holds up.. assembl's secondary-education kete is built for school operators — deputy principals, registrars, board secretaries. NCEA L1–3 weekly reporting, MoE attendance reconciliation, board minute drafting, ERO secondary review prep. Every workflow ends in a pack you can file, forward or footnote.

What this pack does

Scope, citations, and the workflows that come with it.

Mātauranga sits inside the secondary-school admin office, not the classroom. The work a deputy principal or registrar does on a Friday afternoon to keep NZQA, MoE, the board, and ERO satisfied — without rewriting the same paragraph three times. Distinct from the whānau-facing NCEA layer that lives inside Tōro: Mātauranga reports the cohort upward; Tōro tracks one tamariki for the family.

Expected scope on day one: weekly NCEA report parsing (Achievement Standards progress and UE Literacy / Numeracy gaps surfaced before the term ends), attendance reconciliation against MoE thresholds, board minutes drafted in a format the chair will sign, ERO secondary review evidence bundles assembled from the same data already on file. Pastoral notes inform the cohort view but are read-only — kaiako write them; intelligent automation does not.

Mātauranga covers state and state-integrated secondary schools, Years 9–13. Kura kaupapa Māori, wharekura, and Māori-medium pathways are intentionally out of scope — those carry tikanga and curriculum obligations that warrant a separate pilot, not coverage by default. Ako next door covers early childhood education; together the two kete shape the schooling layer, alone they each stay in their lane.

Mātauranga is live as an Industry Pack kete. Schools can start with a Pilot Sprint against their own exports, minutes, and attendance records so the first evidence pack is grounded in the way the office already works.

Ready-to-run assistants

11 practical assistants, each with a clear job.

Pick the task you need: prepare a draft, check the evidence, review the rules, or package the record. The internal agent names stay visible, but the work comes first.

Sample workflows

What Knowledge and research pack handles end-to-end

Workflow 01

Weekly NCEA report parsing → cohort dashboard

Parse the school's weekly NCEA export. Surface Achievement-Standards-at-risk learners, UE Literacy and Numeracy gaps, and credit-pace alerts before the term ends — not after results come back. Pack you can file with the board the same afternoon.

NZQA Act 2024Achievement Standards

Workflow 02

Attendance reconciliation against MoE thresholds

Reconcile attendance against MoE reporting thresholds. Flag the cohort sliding before the chronic-absence trigger fires — early enough that pastoral can act, late enough not to nag. Bundles the trail an ERO reviewer would want.

Education and Training Act 2020MoE attendance standards

Workflow 03

Board minutes + ERO secondary review pack

Drafts board minutes in the format the chair signs, from the meeting recording or your notes. Bundles the ERO secondary-review evidence from data already on file — no reconstruction the night before the visit. Pack you can forward, footnoted.
