Dr Kathie Irwin | When Knowledge is Not Power, Then What?

Let's be clear, in the space of creating kaupapa Māori based change in the Crown Sector, knowledge is not power. Decades and decades of research, undertaken by the Crown itself, successive Waitangi Tribunal Reports, and the best academics in the country, has not created the equitable change that is long overdue. Why not? What's this about? What can we do about it? Recorded at Hui ā-Tau 2021.

Pip Rimene & Mike Styles - Dyslexia | What Now?

Nō te tau 2022 i kaha aro mātou ki tētahi o ā mātou tama, ka mutu, he nui anō tā mātou urupounamu atu ki a mātou anō mō te āhua o ana matea ako. Ko tā mātou i whakatau ai, he tamaiti takiwā tēnei, ā, nāwai rā ka toro atu mātou ki te Tāhuhu o te Mātauranga, ki te kaimātai hauora hinengaro, kia whakamātauhia ā-ōkawatia nei te tamaiti nei. Ko tā rātou, ka toru tau pea te roa o tā mātou tatari kia whakamātauria te tamaiti nei. Nā, ka hōhā mārika mātou i runga anō i te whakaaro, e kore e taea te tatari mō ngā tau e toru i tēnei ao mātauranga nei! Nō muri mai i tēnei ka toro atu mātou ki tētahi nō te hapori whānui, ā, ka utua ia ki te mahi i āna mahi. I tika tā mātou i whakatau ai mō te takiwātanga, heoi, he matea ako anō i ara ake, ā, ko te tīpaopao kupu tērā. I toro atu mātou ki a SPELD, ki ētahi atu anō hoki kia tautoko i te tamaiti nei, engari kāore ā rātou rauemi reo Māori. Nā konei i waihanga ai mātou i tā mātou ake rauemi, ā, koinei te kaupapa o te kōrero nei. We are grateful to Kahu Pūtoi who have made this webinar available to Ako Panuku kaiako.
