In December 1996, the Secretary for Education, Howard Fancy launched Ko e Ako 'a e Kakai Pasifika, the Ministry of Education’s plan for raising the quality of education for Pacific Islands peoples in New Zealand. The plan is a first step towards developing a long-term Pacific Islands education strategy. It has been 16 months since the plan was launched and it is encouraging to see the variety of initiatives being implemented to achieve its goals. This paper will discuss these initiatives more fully.
