"Several well-intentioned efforts seek to incorporate mātauranga Māori (Māori
knowledge) into science in New Zealand. These include a pilot National
Certificate in Educational Achievement (NCEA) programme in biology and
chemistry which places mātauranga Māori concepts on an equal footing with
science. Other proposals aim to do the same for university science curricula
and science policy.

For some, these efforts are a welcome move, while others view them as cause for
concern. I wish to contribute an Asian scientific perspective on this
discussion."

Share and enjoy,
