School Principals say they told the govt for years students working long hours to help their struggling families was a growing crisis in some communities "but nothing was done." "The issue is too big to handle for Jan Tinetti" (Minister of Education) 1news.co.nz/2023/06/24/govt-…

Govt 'doing nothing' for school students supporting families

Principals say they've been raising the issue with the Ministry of Education for years.

Check out our blog unpacking the implication of the Tapasā policy for teachers teaching Pacific/Pasifika students in Aotearoa New Zealand. Also, naming whiteness as a construct worthy of exploration. nzareblog.wordpress.com/2023….

Starting a long journey: Decolonising literacy teacher education using Tapasā as a compass 

How can teachers, teacher educators, and researchers live out the aspirations of Tapasā? Dr Jess Rubin and Dr David Fa’avae reflect on their shared journey.

Sometimes Indigenous Pacific research methods like talanoa can reach a state of fixedness, questioning it's relevance in today's post-covid climate. "e-talanoa" is named and framed by one grp of ECRs, journals.sagepub.com/toc/aln…. @RFaleolo @Blainewuwu @HaveaHepi @AlvinChand9 @Tepora

Living with rheumatic heart disease since age 9. Experts can’t figure out drop in rates. Has NZ society’s ills i.e., poverty, social & health inequity improved? Interesting… nzherald.co.nz/nz/the-rheuma…

Experts 'baffled' by falling rheumatic fever rates in Auckland

Covid-19 restrictions may have achieved what years of Government initiatives could not.
