This paper reports on an evaluation of the Pasifika SmartCentre project which provided ICT equipment and training to 35 Pasifika early childhood centres in Manukau, as a vehicle for community and family learning.

This item is a report on the proceedings of a workshop on school-business relationships and the new Auckland Council, held on June 23, 2010.  COMET is hosting a series of workshops with key stakeholder groups on how Auckland can best shape the relationships needed to make a difference to the skills future of Auckland. The report reflects the input of Gateway co-ordinators and not-for-profit groups who work in the school-business space.

This paper argues that the aspirations of the curriculum will be realised when we have interconnected education providers whose services develop young people at every step of their journey, learning connected to community, and responsiveness to local aspirations. This teaching and learning shift also requires shifts in other parts of the system: in schools, and in the system settings that shape school governance, management and operations.

This report is the outcome of a series of consultations and actions over two years, including the Manukau Education Conference held in April 2007. It contains recommendations for a new education strategy and outlines Action Opportunities for its implementation.

This document provides a summary of keynote addresses, presentations and feedback, provided by participants at the Manukau Early Childhood Education (ECE) Summit held in Manukau on 4 April 2008.
