Explore Ako Aotearoa's resources, professional learning opportunities and events developed to support Māori learner success.

Every year, Te Whatu Kairangi celebrates outstanding tertiary educators who have achieved success in supporting Māori learners.

We are committed to improving the participation, engagement and success of Māori in Aotearoa New Zealand's tertiary education sector.

Ako Aotearoa works collaboratively with a range of organisations on initiatives to help educators increase educational success for Māori learners.

Tuia te Ako is our national Māori Tertiary Education Hui, held most years since 2010.

Te Tohu Reo Māori award is an important new addition to Te Whatu Kairangi that recognises the practice of kaiako who teach te reo Māori.
