Ngā Whanaketanga Rūmaki Māori – Māori-medium National Standards
Draft Ngā Whanaketanga Rumaki Māori (National Standards for Māori-medium education settings) have been developed by Māori-medium leaders in te reo matatini (literacy) and pāngarau (numeracy).
They describe the oral language, reading, writing and maths skills students need to learn in all other areas across Te Marautanga o Aotearoa (the Māori-medium curriculum), at different points of their year 1 to 8 schooling.
Ngā Whanaketanga are part of a wider work programme designed to strengthen Māori-medium education. This includes the implementation of Te Marautanga o Aotearoa; plain language reporting to parents, families and whānau; further developing literacy and numeracy assessment tools for Māori-medium and professional development for teachers, principals and boards of trustees.
