For the past two decades there has been phenomenal growth in Maori participation in tertiary education, particularly of Maori women. In 2007, there will be increasing numbers of Maori participating in tertiary education as a result of demographic trends and of greater numbers of Maori engaging in lifelong learning. Maori learners will be successful in greater numbers, at higher levels, and across a broader range of tertiary education. To do this, the tertiary education system will need to build effective accountability relationships with Maori communities, develop effective Maori authority and leadership throughout the system, and be guided by whole-of-government strategies aligned to tertiary education success. The system will need to better understand, and be responsible for, the needs of Maori learners through research that identifies the barriers and conditions for Maori success in tertiary education. In addition, the tertiary education system will raise aspirations for Maori in tertiary educational achievement through communication and interaction with Maori/Whanau/hapu/iwi. Pathways from foundation education into higher levels of tertiary education will be better integrated, and easier to navigate as the parts of the tertiary system work together to facilitate ease of lifelong learning. Non-public Maori tertiary education providers will continue to provide high-quality education that meets the needs of specific groups of Maori learners. These institutions will be taking greater responsibility for the education success of Maori students. They will also have the staff capability to support the quality teaching of Te Reo Maori and supporting the ongoing development of Maori. The tertiary education system will have a crucial role in empowering Maori learners through foundation skills education that builds on recognition of prior learning and recognises achievement through credits on the National Qualifications Framework. The role of kaupapa Maori foundation education will continue to be important in bringing Maori learners into tertiary education and supporting them through to higher qualification levels . Policies within the compulsory schooling system for many Maori learners will be increasingly equipping and supporting Maori learners to achieve the educational thresholds that are essential to effective tertiary study. « Objective 11 | Index | Objective 13 » |
