The Selection Panel
The Selection Panel
The selection panel is in our view unqualified to judge the applicants, for it is at least 50% pakeha. It should have been comprised solely of Maori elders, who are surely the people best qualified to test the fluency of applicants in Maori language and their suitability to teach both language and culture. The interviews should likewise have been conducted wholly in Maori.
