Our strategy
agility, responsibility and
sustainability as transformative
agents.
Over the plan period, we will
drive innovative education that
delivers highly-valued, relevant
skills for our tauira. We will
nurture mātauranga Māori and
develop our indigenous research
capacity and capability to become
a leading indigenous research
organisation. We will encourage
uptake of tertiary education
(particularly among our priority
learners) and support tauira
success. We will consolidate
organisational sustainability to
protect our organisation for future
generations. We will promote the
health of our people, protect the
environment, and maintain active,
healthy relationships with our
stakeholders.

that promotes a spirit of service,
a spirit of optimism, a spirit
of faith and a spirit of unity in
support of our goal of whānau
transformation through education.
