Māori Success is NZ Success • Educational success critical for NZ future economy and productivity • Right of every learner to be successful • System responsibility • Successful educational experience that reflects and affirms Maori identity, language and culture
The challenge over the next few years… • “…will centre on how the system as a whole can leverage off the progress made to date to mobilise the collective capability and creativity of partnerships between the centre, the sector and community to enable innovation to work more efficiently and effectively in the interests of Māori learners”

Priorities in PLD • Closer analysis of where the difficulties lie • system coherence • provider performance • professional capability • Flexibility and responsivity to Māori learner needs and aspirations • Greater engagement and involvement of iwi in PLD
Expected results from PLD • The identity, language and culture of Māori students and their whānau are embedded into PLD and teacher practice • By end of 2011 accelerated progress for Māori students towards population mean • In three years the achievement profile of Māori student within indepth schools is consistent with Pakeha population achievement distribution • Sustained achievement gains for Māori learners in the indepth schools within 5 years
