Ko te manu e kai i te miro nona te wao tapu nui a Tane Mahuta. Ko te manu e kai ana i te matauranga nona te ao.

The bird that feasts of the miro belongs to the great forest of Tane. The person that draws sustenance from knowledge the world is theirs to conquer.

There is an urgent need for Maori graduates of high quality and particularly Te Reo Maori graduates who can develop the nation's young Maori people.

The Te Aho Tatairangi: Bachelor of Teaching and Learning Kura Kaupapa Maori programme is a three-year degree for future Maori educators i roto i te reo. A full-time programme, this course is designed for competent speakers of Te Reo Maori.
