KA HIKITIA: MĀORI EDUCATION STRATEGY
The introduction to Ka Hikitia says "The Treaty of Waitangi is central to, and symbolic of, our national heritage, identity, and future. Ka Hikitia – Managing for Success acknowledges the Treaty of Waitangi as a document that protects Māori learners’ rights to achieve true citizenship through gaining a range of vital skills and knowledge, as well as protecting te reo Māori as a taonga".

• The Ministry of Education has a webpage for Ka Hikitia.
• NZEI : Te Riu Roa has concerns about adequate funding to implement Ka Hikitia.
• The Education Gazette has run a series of articles on Ka Hikitia. Check them out from 21 April 2008, 28 July 2008 and a more recent one on 15 June 2009.

Almost all the newspaper comment has been on the badges used as part of the promotional package. If you're interested in that, search "Ka Hikitia" in the Databases Multisearch box on the left.

NCEA ACHIEVEMENT RATES FOR MĀORI AND ACCESS TO TERTIARY EDUCATION
