Success as Maori

Core Concept:

To what extent are Māori learners enjoying and achieving education success “as Māori”?

• experiencing the big learning gains needed to ensure they are achieving across all curriculum areas or courses/programmes of study
• particularly in areas of high priority/high need (to feed downstream career choices/options)?

· There is clear evidence that the vast majority[1] of Māori learners are enjoying and achieving education success as Māori by:

· Working with and leading others to make optimum use of appropriate learning and education pathways

· Excelling and successfully leading others to realise their cultural distinctiveness and potential

· Inspiring others and often taking lead roles when participating in and contributing to Te Ao Māori – whānau, hapū, iwi

· Gaining the universal skills and knowledge needed to successfully participate in and contribute to Aotearoa/New Zealand and the world, and guiding others to do so

· Inspiring others to lead their own learning so as to maximise their skills and talents

· Māori learners are achieving equitable outcomes across the education system in all curriculum areas or courses/programmes of study, and have a similar range of study and career choices/options to non-Māori learners

Māori distributions of performance are similar to or better than non-Māori learners (as evidenced in progress against various standardised assessments and qualification achieved)
