A growing number of school boards are making public statements confirming their commitment to the Treaty after the Government announced it would cut the requirements.

Previously, the Education Act said schools must ensure their plans, policies, and local curriculum reflect tikanga Māori, but the Government's looking to change it.

Queens High school board chair Kate Keddell says schools have been weaving in Te Tiriti obligations into curriculums and the standards won't impact students.

"We're just continuing on with the focus that we've been asked to do in the last few years...we are weaving it into our strategies."
