Working in partnership
Local educators, leaders, whānau and iwi understand what's best for their communities.
We're committed to ensuring these voices are represented in the governance of Te Rito to ensure the right support for our ākonga and learners, based on their strengths.
Ngā Rau Whakatupu
Te Rito's governance arrangements include the Chairs of Ngā Rau Whakatupu.
Te Rito Steering Group
The roll-out of Te Rito is led by the Te Rito Steering Group. The Steering Group includes sector representatives, members of Ngā Rau Whakatupu, regional representatives from the Ministry's Te Mahau team as well as other Ministry leaders.
Te Rito Data Kaitiakitanga Group
The Data Kaitiakitanga Group is an independent, cross-sector data stewardship group providing trusted, transparent and equitable oversight of data held in Te Rito.
They have oversight of access and use of aggregated information in Te Rito, and recommend who can use the data, for what purpose and under what conditions. This can include requests from researchers, the Ministry, or other education agencies to help inform their research or policy development.
The Data Kaitiakitanga Group also designs, updates and recommends policies relating to data access, working with others who have an interest in ensuring Māori data sovereignty interests are respected.
