Promoting Success for Māori Students: Schools’ Progress (June 2010)* 05/10/2010

Improving the presence of Māori students

Being at school is vital if students are to be successful learners. Schools should monitor Māori students’ presence and respond appropriately to identify concerns. Attendance needs to be considered by schools, as well as stand‑downs, suspensions and exclusions, which can disrupt the continuity of learning, with consequent negative impact on engagement, motivation and achievement. Persistent lateness also impedes learning.
