Diploma in ECE (Pasifika)

We designed the Diploma in ECE (Pasifika) for all qualified and unqualified teachers wanting to improve their cultural competency and confidence when engaging with Pacific early learners in their community.

This programme aligns with the Ministry of Education and Teaching Council’s objectives of Tapasā to strengthen your cultural competency when working with Pacific learners.

Graduates gain a deeper appreciation for children’s well-being learning and development in the bicultural context of Aotearoa New Zealand to enhance their early childhood practice.

Qualified teachers will gain credit for two courses: Context for Early Childhood Education and The Child and only need to complete the two Pasifika-based courses.
