Supporting pathways to lifelong learning

This community research, in partnership with Rātā Foundation, set out to make a difference to the transition to school and kura experiences of tamariki in the Ōtautahi region.

The project includes three streams - Māori medium, English medium, and Pacific medium, and resources to support the transition for Muslim students in Aotearoa. Each stream had differing aims, outcomes and recommendations.
