Hegemony & Education in New Zealand.

This PDF looks at the role of the State in the education of indigenous peoples. It charts the historical development of Moari education in New Zealand and presents a compelling argument that while most teachers believe they can make a difference to the life chances of their pupils, the system is actually designed to ensure their failure. In looking at Maori education history, it begins with the Mission Schools, moves through to the limitations placed upon the highly successful Te Aute College in the 1930s and culminates with an analysis of the undermining of the highly successful Whare Wananga in 2004-2006.

What People Say

Mithat Korumaz

I'm a post graduate student of the Department of ''Curriculum and Instruct1on'' at Uludag University in Turkey (province: Bursa). I am very pleased to find out your site because I have learned lots of things about the Critical Theory and that helps me to complete me project work about it.

Thank you so much...

I just wanted to send you a quick message to say thankyou for your website and for the free resources.

Im an aboriginal woman from western australia, and Ive decided to go back to university to undertake research which will benefit my community.

Its quite a challenge for me as I have decided to come in under education (my previous degree was a ba in psychology). I am finding the language challenging, particularly regarding theory and policy.

Thankfully I have found your site and am finding it helpful to understand critical theory. While I understand many of the concepts and how they can be applied, I am quite often lost in the academic language, so it is helpful to have other resources that use a more 'plain english' approach.

Im sure your website is a valuable resource for many people.

A colleague sent me a blog mentioning me which you had graciously responded to offering your website as a resource on critical pedagogy. Just wanted to thank you for the work you've put into this admirable decoding of the critical end of things...(Ira Shor )

Peter Mayo

This is a superb resource which forges links between important areas -architecture, sociology and critical education. I shall certainly share this with colleagues/students, friends and family members starting with my daughter who is an architect. It is also a brilliant teaching tool.

Antonia Darder

This is a great resource! I will definitely... pass on the information to others. (Antonia Darder )

Tor Iorapuu

Found your site electrifying. Thanks for this wonderful site that I have just discovered. I teach in the University in Nigeria and my background is Theatre and my areas of interests are Theatre for Development and Community Organizing. Recently, I have been looking at Transformative Theatre as a counter revolution to theatre for Development. Your work is extensive I would like to engage with you frequently on your work..

Carmel Borg

This is one of the best teaching tools in Critical Pedagogy that I have come across as a specialist in the field. I will definitely include the site as a reference in my courses.
