The Development of Kaupapa Maori Education Initiatives in Aotearoa, New Zealand.
Bishop, Russell; Glynn, Ted
Education Canada, v38 n2 p50-56,30 Sum 1998
Historically, the Pakeha (European) New Zealand government's educational policies have subjugated the Maoris' destiny to its own needs. However in the last 20 years, an intensified political consciousness among Maori has resulted in schooling initiatives that maintain their culture. Discusses the success of Maori-language preschools, development of Maori primary schools, and introduction of a Maori language curriculum. (TD)
