The New Zealand Defence Force has many ways to educate personnel though. The New Zealand Defence College (officially called the New Zealand Command and Staff College) established in 1950 was, and still is, serving as the only tertiary school educating the personnel of the armed forces. It is most likely caused by both relatively small population, as well as a lack of the strategic need to train a larger number of soldiers. The military education reform, held in 2017–2019, was intended to amend the system of military schools by establishing four partnership schools for the Ministry of Defence.
