Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa Education Strategy Press Release
Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa is undertaking the development of a Ngāti Awa Education Strategy. This strategy will build on work already completed by the Ngāti Awa Education Committee as well as new developments within the education sector.
Rūnanga CEO Jeremy Gardiner says “Education can help to improve social, health and economic circumstances of many Ngāti Awa whānau. The Rūnanga recognises that we have a role to play in terms of getting the iwi voice heard by government, schools and other education institutions.”
While some feedback hui have already been held, other hui are planned to be completed by March 2012. In addition an online survey can be accessed here. The online survey is intended to reach Ngāti Awa people wherever they reside to incorporate their feedback.
A draft strategy will be available for comment in April 2012, with the final strategy completed in June 2012.
