Aims - promoter closer alignment and compatibility between: The learner’s educational environment, and their home and / or cultural environment.
Pasifika Education Plan - “While some Pacific students may be born in New Zealand others may be new arrivals.”The Current picture - one in six Pasifika students will not have achieved basic literacy and numeracy skills by the age of ten. Almost one in five will leave school without any qualification; another one in five will leave with NCEA Level 1 only; and around one in five with NCEA Level 2. One in ten will become disengaged in their own learning. The students / learners are at the heart of everything.
There is a need to explore educational achievement through a cultural lens that sees Pasifika knowledge and practices as valid and valued. Studies indicate that for Pasifika students, identify (language and culture) is central to learning.
Schools that had succeeded in raising Pacific student achievement typically had close links with parents, families and communities. Some of these schools had a Pacific Liaison person who assisted with engaging parents in students’ learning and in the life of the school.
In schools where PEP was well used, school leaders, teachers, learners and parents had established strong home and school partnerships. Schools used the targets and goals in the plan to determine actions to create a better learning environment for Pacific students.
