Communities of Learning | Kāhui Ako

A Community of Learning | Kāhui Ako is a group of education and training providers working together to help learners achieve their full potential. These include early childhood education services me ngā kōhanga reo (early learning services), schools, kura and post-secondary.

Each Community of Learning | Kāhui Ako sets shared goals, or achievement challenges based on the particular needs of its learners. Once these have been endorsed by the Minister of Education, the Community of Learning | Kāhui Ako works with learners, their parents, whānau, iwi and communities to achieve those challenges. Communities of Learning | Kāhui Ako are a part of Government’s Investing in Educational Success (IES) initiative.
