Requirements for mainstream and immersion units
Mainstream students studying within a kaupapa M�ori context can be awarded the 6 unique Te Marautanga o Aotearoa subjects as part of meeting the 3 approved subjects requirement for University Entrance.
These students will be undertaking coherent learning programmes which are aligned to the principles and intent of Te Marautanga o Aotearoa.
The definition of kaupapa M�ori is:
- significant use of Te Reo M�ori (that is, the school is at levels 1 or 2 of the M�ori language immersion levels) and
- M�ori education that incorporates a M�ori world view and
- incorporates ways of teaching in a range of settings, including bilingual and immersion settings (English and M�ori)
- delivers the Te Marautanga o Aotearoa curriculum subjects in te reo M�ori only, or in both te reo M�ori and English.
Mainstream schools with students studying in a kaupapa MÄ�ori context (such as through an immersion unit) must notify Ðǿմ«Ã½ of the students undertaking the Te Marautanga o Aotearoa subjects below:
- Hauora
- Ng� Mahi a te Rēhia
- Ng� Toi Ataata
- Ng� Toi Puoro.
Schools must complete and submit an attestation from to Ðǿմ«Ã½ by 1 December each year.

This will enable Ðǿմ«Ã½ to correctly calculate whether these students have met the 3 approved subjects requirement as part of being awarded University Entrance in January of the following year.
Ðǿմ«Ã½ does not need notification of students undertaking NgÄ� Toi and Tikanga Ä�-Iwi subjects.
