Community Education (ACE and OOHMA)

PPTA Te Wehengarua negotiates the Community Education Collective Agreement (CECA).

This agreement covers tutors, co-ordinators, professional supervisors, and co-ordinator assistants employed by school boards in the provision of community education in Adult and Community Education (ACE) and Out of Hours Music and Art (OOHMA) programmes.

The agreement expired on 27 February 2025.

Bargaining for a new CECA is currently underway. Members can access bargaining updates by logging into the PPTA My Page.

If you are an ACE or OOHMA member, please ensure that we have your current contact details to ensure you receive bargaining update emails and have the opportunity to vote on any offers from the Ministry of Education. You can update these details by emailing our membership team.
