Mai Heroes of the Classroom!

Mai is proud to partner with the Ministry of Education to spotlight the most inspiring teachers across Aotearoa.

From the legends who taught us our first lessons to the superstars guiding our tamariki toda, we want to know who made the biggest impact on your journey.

The mahi that happens in our kura is the backbone of our community. It’s about more than just lesson plans; it’s about empowering the next generation to lead. We’re looking for the teachers who put in the extra miles to see their students win.

Nominate your Mai Hero of the Classroom below. If they’ve made a difference, we want to hear about it.

We will show up and give them a special surprise.
