He Tumanako mo te Ao Hou: Success at School for Maori children
A kitset has been produced by the Education Department aimed at encouraging Maori children to succeed at school. It’s put out by the ‘Schools without failure’ group and is available from their district senior inspectors. The kitset looks at why Maori children are at odds with an education system that ‘fails’ them. It looks at the needs of Maori children and helps
teachers identify school practices that promote failure. It suggests a change in teacher attitude would affirm cultural identity and values which would in turn raise the self-esteem of Maori children. The kit contains various articles and booklets which range from Tu Tangata stories to the recommendations of Race Against Time. An evaluation of the kitset will be published in the next issue of Tu Tangata.
