CERT Research

The Cognition Education Research Trust (CERT), established in 2005, was Multi Serve Education Trust's primary source for distributing surplus revenue to support its beneficiaries – New Zealand schools. It ran until 2009 when it was replaced by the Cognition Institute.

The researchers of these projects were all recipients of research grants from the Cognition Education Research Trust. They were chosen for their capability to:

  • Undertake research which is focused on improving learner outcomes, through significantly improved student participants and engagement in schooling, or improving the effectiveness of teachers and/or school leaders
  • Build applied research capacity and capability in New Zealand
  • Share and make best use of their research findings to ultimately benefit learners.
