Karakia

Whakataka te hau ki te uru     May the westerly winds subside
Whakataka te hau ki te tonga   May the southerly winds subside
Kia mākinakina ki uta          That freeze the land
Kia mātaratara ki tai          And freeze the ocean
E hī ake ana te atakura        So that dawn brings with it
He tio, he huka, he hau hū     Ice, frost and chilly winds
Tihei mauri ora!               So let wellness prevail!

What are we
trying to achieve?     Ensure inclusive and equitable quality
                       education and promote lifelong learning
                       opportunities for all.
                       Literacy and numeracy are seen as essential
                       and transformative skills, reducing
                       vulnerability, and contributing to positive
                       social, economic and life outcomes.

Meet a vulnerable learner: Niki
  Reflections on high school
    Niki: I sat there trying to
    understand the teacher, to follow
    it all, but as it went on, I didn’t
    get it…
    Started sitting with the dummies
    up the back, and we just kind of
    hid out.
    I just stopped going…

Meet a vulnerable learner: Niki

Damon: So how are you doing with the
       course work?

Niki:   I can do the cutting, but I can’t
        actually do any of the maths, so
        I’ll fail those. And I can’t
        understand the stuff they give
        me to read, so I can’t get ahead
        of it.
        So I don’t know if I’ll ever
        actually get to work in a salon.
Long-term impact of low skills

                         get poorer

Economic and social outcomes
  Research finds that adults with low LLN:
       Spend less time in employment and work in
       low-skilled, high labour jobs
       Experience high layoff rates, increased
       casual work, and lack of advancement in the
       workplace
