  learning and teaching with ICT that can help
  raise achievement with Maori and Pacific students
  in the mainstream?

  required to create an environment whereby the use
  of ICT can help raise achievement with Maori and
  Pacific students in the mainstream, and how might
  these inputs be replicated in other schools?
