Our mission is to address the systemic causes of educational inequality in order to achieve the vision of an Aotearoa New Zealand in which all children have what they need to fulfil their potential.

Our participants work in a school serving a low-earnings community somewhere in Aotearoa, whilst completing a Postgraduate Diploma in Secondary Teaching. Our theory of change is that these participants will not only be equipped as excellent teachers, but beyond the two-year programme they will go on to help disrupt inequities in manifold ways all over their lives as Kairapu (alumni). We are guided in all that we do by our values: Mana Tangata, Teu Le V?, Practising Excellence, Brave Thinking, and Serving Community.
