Te Kahu Whakahaumaru: Māori continue to show resilience across Māori-medium education

Published: 10 Dec 2020

In Aotearoa, Māori-medium education experienced significant disruption when the outbreak of Covid-19 forced kura to close their doors, and whānau and kaiako to adjust to home schooling and distance learning. Among the many challenges were access to technology and resources with Māori communities among the most affected.
