Education, leisure and culture Education reform and inclusive education 91. The Education and Training Bill, which introduces a range of fundamental reforms to New Zealand’s education legislation, is presently before Parliament. The reforms include a number of progressive measures, such as a new independent appeal process for reviewing decisions that impact on the rights of school students to education generally, including disciplinary decisions such as suspensions and exclusions, enrolment decisions, and learning support decisions.113 92. Further, as noted in paragraph 45, the Bill also substantially elevates the duties of schools and the Crown to give effect to the Treaty of Waitangi through the education system, including by instilling in each child and young person an appreciation of the importance of the Treaty, taking all reasonable steps to make instruction available in tikanga Māori and te reo Māori; and achieving equitable outcomes for Māori students.114 93. In addition, the Bill’s Ministerial statement of National Education and Learning Priorities provides for the instilment of “diversity, cultural knowledge, identity, and the different official languages.”115 113 Education and Learning Bill, sections 202-211 Education and Learning Bill, section 9 115 Education and Learning Bill, section 5(4)(c)(ii) 114 22
