Maori students' educational success is critical to Aotearoa New Zealand's success. The New Zealand Government is committed to supporting Maori learners explore and achieve full potential as Maori. To fulfil this commitment, the Ministry of Education released Ka Hikitia - Managing for Success: The Maori Education Strategy 2008-2012 [available in VOCEDplus at TD/TNC 102.403] in April 2008, which sets the direction for improving education outcomes for and with Maori learners. The Youth Guarantee (YG) programme is one of the initiatives which aim to increase the educational achievement of 16 and 17 year olds by making the education system more responsive to their needs. The Ministry of Education is currently undertaking a research project to evaluate the YG with a focus on improving these programmes to better meet the needs of Maori learners. This report offers a snapshot of the achievements of the YG Maori learners at Wintec and the challenges they face.
The specific goals of this evaluation research were to: Assess the effectiveness of the YG programme at Wintec in relation to improving education outcomes for and with Māori learners using the Measurable Gains Framework and associated rubrics; and Identify opportunities to strengthen and improve the YG programme delivery and responsiveness to Maori learners and their parents, families and whanau.
