Animals in Schools Education Trust (AISET)

AISET works to provide resources, designed by teachers, to promote the inclusion of animal topics in the New Zealand school curricula. AISET also endorses other animal related resources so that teachers and students have access to information about the care and welfare of animals in all aspects of life in New Zealand.

AISET believes humane education has a positive effect on people’s care for animals and each other.

Animal welfare in New Zealand is regulated by the Animal Welfare Act (1999).
