🌿 Tīrewa Mātai: A Groundbreaking Opportunity to Transform Māori Medium Education
Aotearoa is entering a powerful new era in Māori education — and your organisation could be at the forefront of it.
The Ministry of Education has launched a new tender opportunity to support the development of Tīrewa Mātai — the first national monitoring system specifically designed for those learning through Te Reo Māori.
What is Tīrewa Mātai?
Tīrewa Mātai is a visionary kaupapa. It will enable us to better understand, measure, and support the progress, achievement, and successes of mokopuna Māori across the motu. Grounded in the updated Te Marautanga o Aotearoa, this system will deliver insights that are not just data-driven but culturally relevant and values-based.
This procurement is about building a system that works for and with our people — a system that:
Reflects Māori worldviews and expectations for learning
Strengthens accountability across the Māori medium education system
Informs policy, curriculum, and resource development
Provides rich feedback to kura, kaiako, whānau, and education leaders
Why This Opportunity Matters
This is more than a contract. It’s a chance to shape a nationwide solution that:✅ Centres Te Ao Māori in national education monitoring✅ Strengthens data sovereignty and whānau voice✅ Supports equity, excellence, and accountability in Māori medium education✅ Lays the groundwork for future-focused curriculum design
Whether you’re a kaupapa Māori research group, educational consultancy, iwi trust, or Māori-led tech organisation — if you have the skills and vision to help bring Tīrewa Mātai to life, this opportunity is for you.
