Critical issues for whānau in English-medium schools

Alex Barnes, Jessica Hutchings, Katrina Taupo, and Nicola Bright
Abstract: 

Whānau are integral to the educational wellbeing of Māori students in English-medium education. However, very little Māori educational research has been carried out with an explicit focus on identifying the critical issues for whānau in education. This article presents whānau aspirations in English-medium education, and identifies elements that advance whānau educational aspirations. The article concludes with reflective questions that aim to help teachers keep whānau involved in their teaching work.
