Philip Alexander Crawford
1. Restoration of land and people inseparable
2. Rather than just working with individual learners, the approach is to
transform mainstream education
3. Kaupapa Māori is inherently a holistic perspective
4. The work is about rectifying injustices through recognition of what is special
about the people and place.
5. This is a community taking responsibility for its own people.
6. Despite centuries of inequity, mixed messages and uncertainty about future
funding, this approach is plotting a course and already engaging learners.
7. Learning is by Māori, for Māori - it is not merely about acquiring some technical skills but rather about
developing identity and personal knowledge to go with those vocational
skills.
8. This is not an imposition of a rigid education or research model - instead it
is entirely responsive to the community's needs.
9. While the statistics of educational underachievement might be useful in
securing funding, the primary driver for this work is the strengthening of iwi.
10. This development is being undertaken as a professional practice
masters with reflection and embedded contribution to community.
