Improving Participation, Retention and Progression of Māori Tertiary Learners in the Whanganui Region

Whanganui Learning Centre & Gail Harrison under the AKO Aotearoa Spotlight.

Gail's AKO - funded research has been published by AKO Aotearoa on their website and featured in their monthly e-newsletter. It is great to see in the full paper, that Gail has identified ICT as a key driver and mentioned Computers in Homes and Stepping Up.

This project investigated how two Private Training Establishments could improve the participation, retention and progression of Māori Tertiary Learners in the Whanganui Region. The project benefited both parties and the learners engaged in the process. Penny Robinson's literature research paper on the issue is also included.
