Presentations
The Education Master Plan (2008-2023) has the goal of the education sector developing as a centre of excellence for all things Cook Islands. This sits within the focus area Taku Ipukarea Kia Rangatira which requires the Ministry to ensure the people of the Cook Islands develop a strength in Maori language, culture, perspectives and aspirations. The purpose of this is to provide a firm foundation of identity for engagement with the wider world.
Part of the Ministry’s response to this is seen in its vision where is aims to be recognized as a leader in education in the region. In reaching this goal, staff are often requested to present papers at a range of regional and international workshops and conferences.
