It’s good that digital technology will soon become a compulsory part of our education system so that students have digital fluency, but in the week where we celebrate the Maori language, when will our students gain cultural fluency?

Hmmm I think the govt would get too much pressure from Chinese, Arabs, Indians etc that we were being politically insensitive to our other cultures. After all, our heritage no longer matters because we’ve blindly embraced multiculturalism at the expense of our heritage.
Of course, if we go to other countries we are expected to respect their culture but, hey, the do-gooders win on this one.
