The Manaiakalani Programme
“How can we come together and integrate our expertise and our knowledge to address significant problems?”
From Graeme Aitken
Resilient Students are those who come from the bottom socio-economic quartile but who’s ability to perform at or above level 3 goes up over 2 years.
Students who perform at Level 3 begin to demonstrate the ability to construct the meaning of a text and form a detailed understanding from multiple independent pieces of information when reading, can work with proportional relationships and engage in basic interpretation and reasoning when solving mathematics problems; and they can handle unfamiliar topics in science.
Resilience is therefore intended to capture the capacity of an individual to gain the set of skills and competencies that are essential to fully participate in society and have good chances to succeed in the labour market.
