Te Rau Matatau
Te Rau Matatau is an NZQA accredited Private Training Establishment (PTE) and centre of excellence in Māori education and training that offers a range of strengths-based hauora (health and social care) programmes through a kaupapa Māori lens.
The aim of Te Rau Matatau is to increase the expertise of the Māori health workforce so that graduates can competently facilitate positive whānau home environments, and highlight how mauri ora is an achievable goal for all Māori.
On 1 January 2022, the Ministry of Education released The Tertiary and International Learners Code of Practice. This Code sets out how education providers must ensure the wellbeing and safety of all tertiary learners (domestic and international) enrolled with New Zealand education providers.
The Code of Practice
The Code of Practice combines the 2020 Interim Domestic Code and the 2019 International Code, and outlines 24 outcomes to support a safe and positive learning environment for tertiary students. Outcomes 1-7 of the Code are especially relevant to Te Rau Matatau ākonga.
The Code for Ākonga Wellbeing and Safety outlines the responsibilities of Te Rau Matatau as an Education Provider in promoting and supporting ākonga wellbeing and educational success. Te Rau Matatau ensures this through āta whakarongo (listening), whakaute (respect) and whakamana (empowerment) being upheld throughout the ako (learning) process with ākonga and their whānau.
