Due the severe weather warnings, travel advisories and the state of emergency declared across the central and lower North Island we have made the decision to close all our North Island Kindergartens.
A Kindergartens Aotearoa delegation appearing before the select committee yesterday, raising serious concerns about proposed changes to the Education and Training Amendment Bill.
Kindergartens Aotearoa, an organisation representing 260 kindergartens around the country from Auckland’s North Shore to South Otago, supports schools and kura that continue to recognise and honour Te Tiriti despite a government move to change the law.
A survey of 500 parents with children in early childhood education shows that parents value high quality, safe, culturally responsive education that is affordable.
Statement By Whānau Manaaki Regarding Te Tiriti o Waitangi Whānau Manaaki stands with schools who have rejected the removal by Government of the requirement for school boards to give effect to Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
This initiative provided an essential opportunity for a wide range of health organisations to offer support, and deliver vital health services to whānau, particularly Māori and Pacific families.
