The Application Form
The Application Form
In our opinion the application form does not highlight the qualities needed for the job, but concentrates on pakeha academic experience and achievement. Further more, we are amazed that the application form is in the English language, when the chief criterion must obviously be fluency in Maori. This is another example of the Education Department's refusal to make official use of New Zealand's only indigenous language, and along with the questions asked in the application form, this testifies to the exclusively monocultural bias of the Department.
