Maori Education

Maori education aims to incorporate and promote Maori language, culture, and values within the learning environment. It recognizes the importance of Maori identity and traditions while providing quality education to all students. This approach includes bilingual teaching, curriculum content that reflects Maori perspectives, and integrating Maori concepts like whanau (family) and whakapapa (genealogy). Maori education seeks to improve achievement for Maori students, support cultural revitalization, and foster understanding and respect among diverse communities. Overall, it strives to create an inclusive, respectful educational space that honors Maori heritage and promotes bicultural understanding.
