Nau mai, haere mai
We recognise the education system is not yet delivering equitable outcomes for 惭腻辞谤颈.
To remove barriers to equity in education, we are working with learners, their 飞丑腻苍补耻, iwi, hap奴 and other groups. We are making sure our products and services meet the needs of 惭腻辞谤颈.
We're also supporting education providers to remove barriers to equity, to provide accessibility services and deliver equitable outcomes for learners.
