The Government

1993 was the International Year of Indigenous Peoples, the centenary of Women’s Suffrage in Aotearoa/New Zealand, and an election year. In recognition of these events, this review of trends and issues in policies, practices and research in community and continuing education places some emphasis on noting how these relate to Maori and women as learners and providers. The first section examines trends and issues evident in policy developments – from the field, the government and the three other main political parties; and the second section, trends and issues in the provision of learning opportunities through local and national community organisations, school community education, institutions and private providers. Provision and policy development based in Iwi and Maori worlds are not covered.
