Independent Research Confirms MAC's Transformative Impact on Ākonga Māori

Independent research from NZCER confirms what tumuaki across the motu have long known; the Māori Achievement Collaborative (MAC) Kaupapa is transforming outcomes for ākonga Māori. With a top rating from researchers Jackson Rowe-Williams and Nicola Bright, and evidence drawn from over 500 schools and 156,000+ ākonga, the findings show rising attendance, real gains across the curriculum, and a genuine "ripple effect" reaching whānau, teachers, and whole school communities.
