Tekotahitanga -Collaborative response to the rising problem of underachievement among Māori

Te Kotahitanga is a collaborative response to the rising problem of underachievement among Māori students in mainstream schools. The professional development/research project, which began in 2001, is now in its fourth phase and has involved 33 schools around New Zealand, hundreds of teachers and thousands of Māori students.

This site is of interest to me because of the many similarities and connections that I see with BC’s Aboriginal students. Is this program something that would work for us? Would our education system adopt a similar system?
