Product Description
by Maia Hetaraka (Author)
This book delves into the complexities of policies aimed at improving Māori student success in Aotearoa New Zealand. The author draws on personal, ancestral, and contemporary experiences to challenge traditional views of education. Instead of adhering to a single "truth," the book embraces the Māori tradition of valuing multiple perspectives, fostering humility and connection.
It also navigates the political landscape of New Zealand, from progressive reforms under a Labour Government to the recent rollback of these policies by a right-wing coalition. The book critically examines how these political shifts have impacted Māori education and the broader goal of creating a more inclusive and truthful national curriculum.
