Education is a powerful tool that can transform the lives of children, adults, families and communities. How has education shaped your own life, for better or worse? What aspects of education have sparked your curiosity and excitement about the world?

  • The role of education in the lives of families, whānau and communities
  • Mātauranga Māori and education
