He Whakaaraara
A call to action
He Whakaaraara is a living, annual report that gathers the voices of communities in Aotearoa New Zealand who experience educational inequities. Combining big data sets, research and community voice, He Whakaaraara highlights the inequities experienced by the most vulnerable tamariki in Aotearoa New Zealand, and is a call to action to help find and fund community-led solutions.
In this inaugural report, data has been collected from five communities: Māori, Pacific, Rainbow, migrant/former refugee, and those living with disabilities. Each chapter focuses on one community, and intersectionality between these groups is recognised and discussed.
