He kupu whakataki

Ko te tāhū o Te Marautanga o Aotearoa i whakaūkia i runga i ngā wawata kia tū tangata te ākonga, kia tupu hei ākonga mātau, hei ākonga pakari, hei ākonga whakawhitiwhiti kōrero i roto i te ao Māori, e whai oranga ai tōna hinengaro, tōna tinana, tōna wairua, me tōna pūmau hoki ki tōna tuakiri, ki tōna tūrangawaewae. Kei a ia ngā pūkenga, ngā mōhiotanga hoki e whai wāhi atu ai ia ki te hāpai i te iwi Māori me te ao whānui.

E tautuhi ana Te Marautanga o Aotearoa me pēhea te tūhono atu i tēnei tirohanga ki te taiao ako o ngā tamariki kei roto i ngā kura e ako ana mā te huarahi o te reo Māori.

Me tīmata mai i ngā ākonga, i ō rātou mōhiotanga, i ō rātou pūkenga, i ō rātou uara, waiaro hoki, hei āpiti atu ki ngā wheako ako o te kura. E whakatau ana Te Marautanga o Aotearoa me whai wāhi ngā tikanga Māori i roto i ngā āhuatanga ako. Ko te kāinga, te hapori, te ahurea, te hapū o te ākonga e whai wāhi ana i roto i te mātauranga o te kura. Kia angitu ai te puta o ngā ākonga, me pūmau te mahi tahi a te kura, te kāinga, te hapū, te iwi me te hapori.

Kei te tautoko Te Marautanga o Aotearoa i te tuakiri ahurea me ngā taonga tuku iho a ngā ākonga me ō rātou whānau.

Kei te tautoko hoki Te Marautanga o Aotearoa i ngā taiao ako o ngā kura tuatahi me ngā kura tuarua. Me wātea ngā ākonga katoa ki te whakawhanake mōhiotanga i roto i ngā wāhanga ako me ngā pūkenga. Mā tēnei momo ako, ka āhei rātou ki te kake ake ki te tihi o ō rātou ake pūmanawa, ā, ki te mahi i runga i te tōtika, i te whai hua anō i roto i te hapori Māori me te ao whānui.
