The development and advancement of a Ngapuhi Education Strategy to progress the vision and aspirations of Ngāpuhi iwi, hapu and whānau. 

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

On 22 March 1993, Te Runanga A Iwi O Ngapuhi confirmed their wish to adopt an Education Plan that focused on the establishment of the Ngapuhi Education Authority. Integral to this was the mission statement of ‘Tino Rangatiratanga’. The overall intention of the plan was to allow Ngapuhi to decide for Ngapuhi in all matters pertaining to Ngapuhi educational matters.

The overall purposes of the Ngapuhi Education Strategy is to:

• Strengthen the identity, language and culture of Ngāpuhi learners and their whanau by providing access to Ngāpuhitanga in contexts authentic to Ngāpuhi learners and their whanau
• To improve outcomes for Ngāpuhi in education

This will encourage Ngāpuhi uri to contribute to the development of a Ngāpuhi Education Strategy to:

• Support Te Rūnanga-Ā-Iwi-Ō Ngāpuhi in its engagements with all other stakeholders – particularly ngā uri o Ngāpuhi
• Determine and give expression to their learning aspirations premised on their unique identity, language and culture
