“The addition of Mau Rākau in The Arts and Pacific Studies in Social Sciences means that the identities, languages and cultures of ākonga (students) will be better recognised, enabling them to genuinely achieve as themselves,” says Melanie Webber, President of PPTA Te Wehengarua.
“It’s great to see that the Ministry of Education has taken into account the feedback from the visual arts community and has retained Painting within The Arts Learning Area. Art teachers have been listened to.
