The Education Minister is hitting back against claims she’s trying to entrench co-governance into education. 

Hobson’s Pledge is claiming that the Education and Training Amendment Bill No.2 includes a section, put there by Stanford, that will force every school board to reflect “local tikanga Māori, mātauranga Māori, and te ao Māori” in their policies, plans, and classroom teaching. 

Erica Stanford refutes these claims, saying that 127 was an already existing Treaty clause. 

She told Mike Hosking that section is not the only clause in the Education Act to reference the Treaty, which is why there needs to be a proper review into whether or not they need to be there. 

Standford says there are legitimate questions to be answered, which is why they’re looking into the act, but she did not add them in herself.
