He Kupu Whakataki – Journal of Best Practice in Applied and Māori/Indigenous Vocational Education

Introduction

He Kupu Whakataki – Journal of Best Practice in Applied and Māori/Indigenous Vocational Education, is a collaboration between four Tertiary Education Institutes (TEIs):

• Tairāwhiti Polytechnic which is located in Gisborne on the east coast of New Zealand’s North Island – a Polytechnic which prides itself on being whānau (family) oriented and putting the students first.
• Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi located east of Rotorua, intends to be a quality provider of Māori programmes.
• Northland Polytechnic located in Whangarei in the far north of the North Island remains the only Northland-based TEI that provides programmes from foundation to degree level, and
• Waiariki Institute of Technology – Whare Takiūra.

There is limited literature written from an indigenous perspective on issues such as: indigenous labour market; policy development and implementation; workplace practice and trends; the utilisation and protection of indigenous assets; vocational education, training and research; and the transfer of indigenous knowledge. The Journal, therefore, will seek to encourage research and scholarship in vocational issues from an indigenous perspective. It will also provide a forum for established as well as emerging researchers and commentators.
