Ka Hikitia emphasises the importance of identity, language and culture – teachers knowing where their students come from, and building on what students bring with them; and on productive partnerships among teachers, Māori learners, whānau and iwi.
Parents and whānau play a critical role in supporting their children’s learning right from the start. Evidence shows that learning outcomes are enhanced when parental involvement in school is sustained and focused on learning activities.
Identity, language and culture count – knowing where students come from and building on what students bring with them. Productive Partnerships – Māori students, whānau and educators sharing knowledge and expertise with each other to produce better outcomes.
Ka Hikitia - The Māori Education Strategy consists of five key outcome domains.
