This report explores Pasifika learner voices to identify and build on strategies that support these learners to success within three tertiary institutions in Canterbury.
It aimed to answer two main questions: how do we know that what we are doing to support Pasifika student success is working? And what does success mean to Pasifika students?
The understanding of effective strategies to support Pasifika students at tertiary institutions is critical if educational institutions wish to address continuing education inequities in New Zealand.
