  • MÄ�ori education that incorporates a MÄ�ori world view and
    • incorporates ways of teaching in a range of settings, including bilingual and immersion settings (English and MÄ�ori)
    • delivers the Te Marautanga o Aotearoa curriculum subjects in te reo MÄ�ori only, or in both te reo MÄ�ori and English.
