Commissioned by the Department of Education, this film is designed to encourage Māori students to pursue careers in the ‘Pākehā world’.
At a Rūātoki Marae, Minister Wharetini Rangi and elders discuss the importance and the need to educate their young people in preparation for the future. At Ardmore Teachers Training College, Māori students are taught the art of tukutuku weaving and participate in various curriculum areas. Also featured on this film are young men living away from home in a Māori Boys’ Hostel in Wellington, Christchurch, Auckland, and Rotorua. They move here from the country to study and train for various trades and occupations. Many remain in the city once their study is over, with the hope of finding employment in the careers they have chosen.
