EMPHASIS ON TE TIRITI, EQUITY AND SUPPORT FOR MĀORI IN NEW LAW
The passing of the Education (Vocational Education and Training Reform) Amendment Bill on 19 February 2020 has formalised the process of creating a strong, unified, sustainable vocational education and training system with greater emphasis on reflecting Te Tiriti o Waitangi, promoting equity and supporting tauira Māori.
The Bill states the NZIST will be responsive to the needs of all regions of New Zealand and will hold inclusivity and equity as core principles.
“This is a positive step for the promotion of equity for Māori, but this is just a first step. I would like to see Te Tiriti o Waitangi interwoven throughout not only policy, but degrees and certificates. We need to make sure Te Tiriti and te reo Māori are not taught in isolation from other subjects. I think we know where we are headed with Te Ao Māori - we have kōhanga, kura, wharekura, and wānanga, but we currently often see our reo and Te Ao Māori outside of these spaces taught and practiced in isolation”.......
