To quote our report, "Every part of the education system has a role to play in ensuring students feel safe and included at school. We acknowledge that schools have different approaches to achieving this, but we also recommend that the Government continue to engage with schools on the importance of the national education and learning priorities, that they support the Te Mahau to continue to facilitate local solutions to non-attendance, and that the Ministry of Education develops a communications plan about the importance of regular school attendance targeted at families and communities." To address regular-attendance decline amongst Māori students, we supported uniquely Māori solutions for Māori students, including the further support and funding of Māori-medium schools, mixed-medium schools, iwi organisations, and Māori Attendance Service providers. Submitters told us of the importance of tino rangatiratanga and Māori-Crown partnerships and that the factors identified to impact attendance have led to Māori disproportionately suffering.
