Te Tiriti o Waitangi Article II and the Rights of the Child UNCRC Article 30
|
Dr Williams scholarship is grounded in mātauranga Māori that delves in and out of kaupapa
Māori ways of knowing, being and doing. Many indigenous peoples may argue that the hidden drivers of pedagogical activities remain anchored to Western oriented values, processes and motivations. In Aotearoa New Zealand adopting bicultural and bilingual pedagogies is about truly reflecting the intent of this country’s founding doctrine Te Tiriti o Waitangi which gives prominence to this country’s dual heritage. This evening’s presentation by Dr Williams brings Te Tiriti o Waitangi Article II to the fore in relation to the protection of ngā taonga katoa (all treasures) in particular the treasures of Whakapapa (Identity) Te reo Māori (Language) and Tikanga Māori (Culture). Aligning this Tiriti article to the Rights of Children in particular to Article 30 where this is about “the thoughts and beliefs of every child should be respected. If you belong to a minority, you have the right to your own language, your own culture and your own religion”. The presentation will outline the bicultural journeying thus far the early childhood education sector have been shaping their educational landscape for all children since Te Whāriki was first launched back in 1996. |
