Whānau Pasifika navigating schooling in Aotearoa. By Renee Tuifagalele, Jean Allen Rāhera Meinders and Melinda Webber Congratulations anau.

This report focuses on the perspectives of whānau Pasifika as they express their attitudes and beliefs about what success looks like for their tamariki and why success is important. It employs the Indigenous practice of wayfinding to frame discussions of success through a range of values whānau Pasifika hold, and supportive characteristics they enact that steer their tamariki towards achieving their educational aspirations.

Our research question for this study was: What are the Pasifika values that guide whānau as they navigate educational spaces and how are these anchored in Pasifika measures of success?

This report forms part of our wider COMPASS project, a partnership between Rangahau Mātauranga o Aotearoa and the University of Auckland’s Professor Melinda Webber. You can read the full report below!
