Dr Cathy Wylie has held her present position of chief researcher at NZCER since 2001, and has published and presented extensively on New Zealand educational policy and its impacts, particularly the country’s experience with school self-management since 1989. Studies she has undertaken cover changes in school roles, relations between central government and schools, school accountability, school financial decision-making, and school improvement and development. She also leads the Competent Children study, which has followed around 500 participants from age 5 to age 20, looking at the roles of education, home, and leisure interests in children’s educational engagement and performance.
