WIDER EDUCATION SECTOR
Waikato-Tainui is committed to creating
experiences and opportunities for
learning with whaanau at the heart. We
acknowledge that our marae are our
key connectors. We also acknowledge
that we have many successful
examples of learning currently
occurring in both of these contexts.
We acknowledge that we need to
celebrate what is currently successful
in these contexts while providing more
opportunities for all whaanau to be
life-long learners. Waikato-Tainui will
support tribal members to understand
their interests, to develop these into
passions and a sense of purpose that
is meaningful to them. We will support
whaanau through developing whaanau
based initiatives that embrace self-
determination and prepares our next
and current generations to be leaders
of themselves, whaanau, hapuu and iwi.
Relationships
Our marae are our connectors to the
Kiingitanga and to each other.
They are places of learning, transition
and growth for whaanau and tribal
members. We see our marae as key
places of life-long learning that
extends throughout the rohe.
We seek to develop the capacity of
our tribal members to be proactive
and effective in creating education
opportunities. This includes building
relationships with key partners in the
areas of leadership, formal education
and career pathways.
