Furthering equity for tamariki and rangatahi
Has inequity in education been on your mind? Would you like to explore the thinking further in your learning environment?
You may be asking if your learning vision enables approaches that support equitable outcomes. To support you we’ve curated some content that will extend your equity conversations.
To help you make a difference for all tamariki and rangatahi, this kaupapa will explore equity through cultural, de-streaming and LGBTQIA+ rangatahi lenses.
