from new Māori STEMM academy
It’s been touted as the way of the future and now students in Te Tai Tokerau are set to learn more about science, technology, engineering, mathematics and mātauranga (STEMM).
The Pūhoro STEMM Academy, which currently operates in nine regions throughout the country has today expanded into Northland.
Associate Education Minister, Kelvin Davis, said it was an important step for Māori who were currently under-represented in STEMM.
“The Pūhoro way is a by Māori for Māori way,” he said in a statement.
“Its expansion into Tai Tokerau is a significant milestone for a kaupapa Māori approach that seeks to improve equitable access for rangatahi Māori into science and technology related pathways.”
