Critical factors for success

Evidence shows that improvement in two areas will make the most powerful difference to Māori students’ educational success:

1. Quality provision, leadership, teaching and learning, supported by effective governance

High-quality teaching, supported by effective leadership and governance, makes the biggest ‘in education’ difference to student outcomes across all parts of the education sector.

2. Strong engagement and contribution from all who have a role to play

Strong engagement and contribution from students, parents and whānau, hapū, iwi, Māori organisations, communities and businesses have a strong influence on students’ success.

Māori students’ learning is strengthened when education professionals include a role for parents and whānau, hapū, iwi, Māori organisations, communities and businesses in learning and teaching.
