Whakamānutanga a ngā Minita i te Marautanga kaupapa-Māori hukihuki
I te rangi nei i whakamānutia te marautanga hukihuki mō ngā kura kaupapa Māori e te Minita mō ngā Take Māori, te Minita
Tuarua mō te Mātauranga, a Parekura Horomia,. me te Minita mō te Mātauranga, a Chris Carter.
“He marautanga ārahi-o te ao te Marautanga, ehara noaiho i te whakamāoritanga o te Marautanga o Aotearoa mō ngā kura
kaupapa pākehā, i mea hanga i raro i ngā tikanga tangata whenua pūmau”, e kī ana a Horomia.
“ Kua takoto e Te Marautanga te huarahi mō te whakaako me te ako mō ngā tauira, e 17500, kei ngā kura kaupapa Māori
tuatahi, tuarua, e 350,o Aotearoa; ngā kura e whakamahia ana i te reo Māori mō ngā whakawhitinga kōrero katoa, tāpiri
atu ki ngā mahi whakaako”.
Me te kī a Chris Carter, he pukapuka hoa ngātahi Te Marautanga ki te Marautanga o Aotearoa (New Zealand Curriculum),
tērā i whakamānutia e te Pirimia i te tīmatanga o tēnei marama.
“E arotahi ana ngā marautanga e rua nei ki te take whakahirahira mō ngā tauira ki te whai mātauranga i raro i ngā
ahuatanga tikanga, engari me tāpiri atu ngā wāriu, ngā pukenga, me ngā tohungatanga hei äwhina i ngā tauira mō te rau
tau 21,” I kī a Carter.
“ Ka whai Te Marautanga ki te whakanui ake i ngā whakatutukitanga Māori ki ngā wāhanga katoa a te pūnaha akoranga
mātauranga, pūmau ake ki te pānui pukapuka, ki te tuhituhi me te pāngarau; ki te whakamaha ake i ngā tauira reo rua, reo
maha, ki Aotearoa, me te whakapakari ake i te kaupapa mātauranga Māori.”
Me te whakamanawa a Minita Horomia me Minita Carter, i ngā kaiwhakaako kia ārahi i ngā whakawhitinga kōrero i a rātou
hapori mō Te Marautanga.
“He mea whakahirahira ngā whakaaro whakautu ki a mātou, kia pūmau ko ngā hiahia me ngā wawata a te Māori ka whakaatatia
ki roto i Te Marautanga, ā, ka takoto hāngai atu ki te rautaki mātauranga Māori, a Ka Hikitia,” e kī ana a Horomia.
Kua tīmata ngā whakawhitinga kōrero mō te pukapuka hukihuki, ka haere tonu atu ki te 22 o Paenga-whā-whā 2008. Ka tū ngā
raupapa hui ā-rohe kia whakahokia mai ngā whakaaro.
