Experts in education agree that
increasing the numbers of Maori students succeed in education requires
connecting them with each other within
the school, and to help them form relationships with their own iwi and extended
whanau groups outside of the school.
Manawahine TaumatatangaTrust with its programmes for wahine, tane and whanau at risk (woman, men and communities) is one such
organisation helping to keep Maori
identity, values and principals alive . http://www.manawahine.net
