Information on the hui
“I want to thank our MIT and Unitec whānau for hosting our first hui at Ngā Kete Wānanga Marae and Te Noho Kotahitanga Marae which were both very fitting and meaningful settings to launch engagement on such an important kaupapa. We also successfully hosted our very first online hui spanning across both MIT and Unitec which was attended by more than 150 people, it’s great to see this level of engagement and we’ve already received some really insightful and valuable feedback,” says Gus Gilmore.
Professor Jenny Lee Morgan says “Over the past four months various pathways have been explored and throughout the process Te Noho Kotahitanga and MIT values have guided discussion. This work is intended to be transformational and is a continuation of the legacy rangatira before us dedicated their lives to championing. This kaupapa enacts the Charter and the Minister of Education’s Letter of Expectations sent to Te Pūkenga in 2020.”
