Teachers learning in a Samoan village

From Afternoons, 1:20 pm today

For the past 20 years hundreds of Kiwi teachers have taken part in a programme that's allowed them to experience life in a Samoan village. The impact of that programme is now being assessed.

The initiative was started by Leali'ie'e Dr Tufulasi Taleni a Senior Lecturer in Education at Canterbury University.
