Associate Minister of Education Kelvin Davis says Te Kura o Kauwhata will cater for the expected growth in the Rangitikei town for years to come.
The application was made by Ngā Kaitiaki o Ngāti Kauwhata Incorporated, and the proposed curriculum will be grounded in the iwi’s taonga tuku ihohanga or cultural inheritance.
Mr Davis says investing in new classrooms and teacher training is part of the Government’s goal of increasing the number of learners in Maori medium to 30 percent by 2040.
