In the past, Maori communities have been the catalysts for significant Maori development in the tertiary education system. In the future, all parts of the tertiary education system will share a collective responsibility for ensuring that outcomes are achieved that are consistent with the expectations of Maori communities. By 2007, this accountability will be evidenced though more effective engagement with Maori communities and a willingness by providers to support regional goals that reflect Maori aspirations. A tertiary education system that is better connected to Maori communities is one that will be consistent with the Treaty of Waitangi at all levels of operation. It will be a system where Maori share authority and responsibility in partnership arrangements and one where Maori are increasingly involved in the delivery of education. By 2007, tertiary education organisations will increasingly have structures and processes of governance that can more effectively meet the expectations of Maori communities. Leaders throughout the tertiary education system will be driving this focus on greater accountability. They will have the understanding and capability to engage effectively with Maori communities. By 2007, Maori will have a growing capability and capacity to exercise greater authority and leadership in tertiary education. Those in leadership roles throughout the tertiary education system will have created an environment where Maori leadership is nurtured and valued. Tertiary education organisations across the system will have developed strategies to increase their Maori leadership capacity and capability. The importance of relationships with Whanau/hapu/iwi as expressed through the Hui Taumata Mätauranga, iwi partnerships, and through wider Maori community consultation, will continue to be critical. The Government will continue to work with a growing plurality of Maori groups both within, and external, to the tertiary education system. A challenge in the next five years for Maori communities, government and the tertiary sector will to recognise and build from the capability currently within Maori communities. Comprehensive information on Maori participation, achievement and completion across all parts of the tertiary system will be readily accessible to Maori communities. This information will facilitate informed negotiation between Maori communities, institutions, providers and tertiary organisations, and the TEC around the performance of the tertiary education system to align with Maori expectations through the charters and profiles process. « Strategy 2 | Index | Objective 9 » |
