Manu Kōkiri: Māori Success and Tertiary Education – Towards a Comprehensive Vision

This paper presents views concerning ‘Māori Success and Tertiary Education’ developed by Taumata Aronui, a group convened by the Minister of Education as a ‘Māori Voice to help shape tertiary education’. The paper represents some ‘thinking out loud’, an articulation of ideas held by Taumata Aronui members, and was written during the Covid-19 lockdowns of 2020 and 2021. It is not based upon specific research conducted for this purpose. Rather, the paper presents views about Māori success and tertiary education held by Taumata Aronui members for consideration by the Minister of Education and the Minister for Māori Crown Relations – Te Arawhiti.
