Te Pāti Māori says it will set up a Māori-led education authority to give Māori communities more say over how education works. They want Māori knowledge and culture built properly into learning, and they want to remove barriers that stop whānau from accessing education and training. They also want Māori communities to have more governance and decision-making power in education.
“Build a Māori-led education authority and solutions.”
“Embed mātauranga Māori properly across learning.”
“Education should never teach our tamariki to leave themselves at the door. It should strengthen identity, grow confidence, open pathways, and prepare our people to lead in the world as Māori.”
