Helping Maori & Pacific students to succeed in math & physics

From Afternoons, 1:35 pm on 11 October 2022

A deputy high school teacher and a teaching fellow at the University of Auckland have teamed up to encourage more Māori and Pacific students to succeed in maths and physics.

Together they've set up the South Auckland Maths Challenge for Māori and Pacific kids in Years 9 and 10.

They've also established the Pacific Academy, which offers Maths and Physics tutoring for Year 11 to 13 students.

Katalina Ma talks to Jesse about their work and the need for the extra help.
