A statement from Jackie Talbot, an advisor to New Zealand's ministry of education, speaking about changes to qualifications attainable by NZ secondary school students: "'It traces back to 2019 when the Government agreed to strengthen NCEA, with a commitment to explicitly reflect and promote mana ōrite mō tē mātauranga Māori, or parity for Māori knowledge, within the main secondary school qualification. ... She said it means "making sure teachers are supported to design courses that include both what has become known as mātauranga pūtaiao and the scientific knowledge, skills and understandings that have traditionally been taught in New Zealand schools - which we have referred to at times using the phrase 'Western science'." https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2021/07/national-mp-... |
