| Commentary: The performance of some MI (Mäori Immersion) students was affected by their limited Mäori language skills. They might have been helped if the introductory paragraph had used the idea of hiding (huna). MI (Mäori Immersion) students scored statistically significantly lower than GEd (General Education) students. |
