“If there is respect for the earth and each other, peace and love in our lives and tolerance, trust and the will to understand. If there is forgiveness for past wrongs, diligence and integrity apparent in all our efforts, thence unity of purpose will forever be present within Maoridom.” Te Arikinui Te Atairangikaahu, 2001 Where do we want to be by 2007?The next five years will mark the beginning of a transformation within the tertiary education system. Maori communities have high expectations and aspirations for tertiary education. In the coming five years the reformed tertiary education system will begin to respond to these aspirations as never before. In 2007, consistent with the Treaty of Waitangi, Maori will exercise greater authority and responsibility within a tertiary education system that is working increasingly in partnership with Maori communities. The system will take greater responsibility for the success of Maori students and be more accountable to diverse Maori realities. Maori communities increasingly engage with a tertiary education system that is more supportive of Te Ao Maori (the Maori world) and which is inclusive of tikanga Maori. E kore au e ngaro, he kakano i ruia mai i Rangiatea Maori communities, through the Hui Taumata Matauranga, endorsed three goals for Maori educational advancement. These goals were:
A quality tertiary education system for Maori is one that meets these goals. The system will reflect Te Ao Maori and recognise and be inclusive of Maori realities. Space will exist within the system for of a diversity of Maori/Whanau/hapu/iwi realities as expressed through Mätauranga Maori (knowledge and intellectual tradition that belong to Maori). Five years from now tertiary education will better enable Maori to actively participate as citizens of the world. The tertiary system will be more effectively meeting Maori expectations that tertiary education will enrich their lives and open doors to the knowledge society, to the economy, to the arts and sciences, to understanding others, and to active citizenship. By 2007 we have a tertiary education system that is making growing contributions to the good health and high standard of living for Maori, and which is better able to support Maori learners. The tertiary education system will have a greater capability to reflect the ⦡mp;#8364;˜whole learner⦡mp;#8364;™ ⦡mp;#8364;“ recognising that, for Maori, tertiary education contributes to a holistic vision of wealth that is cultural, social, economic, environmental, and spiritual. Providers and organisations in the tertiary education system will be cognisant of, and more responsive to, Maori community values, the additional obligations of Maori learners with young Whanau, and groups of Maori learners with particular needs and aspirations such as Maori women, older learners returning to education, and disabled Maori. « Objective 7 | Index | Objective 8 » |
