to be given equal status in NCEA
New research has revealed the benefit of giving Te Ao Haka mana ōrite (equal status) in the New Zealand curriculum.
Ngā whai painga o Te Ao Haka is the latest release from Te Wāhanga – New Zealand Council for Educational Research (NZCER), examining how the new mātauranga Māori qualification can support teachers, students and whānau.
As part of the Te Ao Haka qualification, students are encouraged to explore foundational knowledge of haka, and their own creativity within it.
It was first established as a pilot programme in 2021 with 36 schools and kura participating. In 2022, that number increased to 72. The qualification will be made available to all schools this year.
