About the course
He Korowai Akonga: Bachelor of Education develops and applies Maori worldview, philosophies and theories of education to the practice of ako (reciprocal and transformational relationship of teaching and learning), aro (assessment, evaluation, reflective praxis), whanaungatanga (enduring relationships) and te hiringa (spirituality and passion).
Embracing Matauranga Maori, this degree supports individuals to be reflective, culturally aware and responsive practitioners, who are able to think deeply and critically about education, its issues and potential and their role within it.
An endorsement in adult education will further the abilities of individuals to teach at tertiary level.
