Literacy pilot should boost Māori learning


Associate minister of Education Kelvin Davis says a new education plan will help those wanting to teach in a Māori way.
Mr Davis and Minister for Pacific Peoples Aupito William Sio launched Te Reo Matatini me te Pāngarau pilot literacy and numeracy programme at Mangere East Primary School last week.
He says it should make the curriculum more relevant, fun and interesting for tamariki..
“It’s about shifting, as we say in the teaching thing, the pedagogy which is the way people teach, to be more inclusive and more Māori-focused for their Maori taitamariki,” Mr Davissays.
