Māori Economic Development Forum

The Māori Economic Development Forum was formed as a key action that falls out of Te Rautaki Māori – NZQA’s Māori Strategy.

The role of the Māori Economic Development Forum is to provide assistance to the New Zealand Qualifications Authority to:

• Identify the need for any qualifications that will lead to accelerated Māori economic capability

• Consider the relevance of current qualifications in the context of Māori economic growth

• Recommend areas for development.
