Raising achievement rates of Maori and Pacific Islanders

Credit to Kieran Meredith, 16 as he takes matters into his own hands to deal with the achievement rates of Maori and Pacific Islanders, whom he said the current school system was failing. Some pass rates are as low as a quarter of the national average.
It is good to hear that the scheme has been identified and seems to be gaining traction through enthusiasm from different colleges and schools. Perhaps this ‘grassroots’ initiatives is the way to address this issue rather than Government dealing with it from the top down.
But how do you turn a single school success story into a national drive toward success?
