About ArrowMight Canada
ArrowMight Canada is a team of 20 education specialists including First Nations, Inuit and Métis consultants. We collaborate with IPLAC (Instituto Pedagogico LatinoAmericano y Caribeno) to deliver a compelling, cost-effective and rewarding literacy program that enables English-speaking Canadians, Aboriginal and Immigrant students to achieve their life goals.
Established in 2006, ArrowMight Canada is a division of ArrowMight International, globally respected pioneer in adult education, that was asked to expand its operations to help address the literacy needs of Canadians. Both ArrowMight International and ArrowMight Canada are subsidiaries of Aotearoa Institute, a Charitable Trust out of New Zealand.
Dr. Rongo H. Wetere, Managing Director
With the support of many, Aotearoa Institute was established in 1986. Dr. Wetere has long championed high-quality, culturally-appropriate education for Indigenous peoples and members of other minority populations. Believing that all people should have equal access to sound learning opportunities, Dr. Wetere established New Zealand's first Maori University, Te Wananga o Aotearoa, in 1994. Under his leadership, the university grew to be the largest provider of post-secondary education in New Zealand and according to the Institute of Economic Research (2003) the university contributed $3 billion dollars to the country’s economy each year.
Today, Dr. Wetere continues to promote adult literacy and lifelong learning among Aboriginal peoples as the Managing Director of ArrowMight Canada and one of the founders of the World Indigenous Higher Education Consortium (WINHEC) established in Calgary, Alberta in 2002.
