MAORI-CROWN TERTIARY EDUCATION ADVISORY GROUP A POSITIVE STEP FORWARD
The TEU and its national rananga, Te Toi Ahurangi, welcome the announcement Maori will be included from the outset, as key partners in the next stages of the Reform of Vocational Education process, with the creation of Te Taumata Aronui - a Maori-Crown tertiary education advisory group.
The new institute promises to have governance that reflects the Maori-Crown partnership and promotes national collaboration and leadership with local solutions to regional issues, with a responsibility to prioritise Maori learners.
Clear lines of communication will ensure the gains made by Maori through the consultation process are not lost, and that the Maori-Crown partnership is not only upheld and enhanced, but embedded" Hahana said.
Both Watene and Cooper say TEU Maori members have expressed the need for local culture to be maintained and respected under the new, reformed structure of tertiary education. "A charter with an enduring commitment to strong regional campuses must also ensure an enduring commitment to regions in governance and representation. This must extend to the importance placed on the different mita and tikanga of iwi in which the polytechnics are located, and ensuring this is not lost at a local level under a coordinated national system"........
