Information systems could be strengthened by further disaggregating information on different sub-groups of Pasifika students and other ethnic groups in regions where such information is relevant. As mentioned above, work towards developing a culturally relevant version of NEMP for Maori-medium education is ongoing. Implementing a revised version of NEMP in Maori-medium settings has the potential to produce highly valuable system-level information. They could provide useful information on the impact of language and culture in the cognitive processes involved in Maori students learning.
