Education for Maori was critical to Ngata. He saw it as essential for Maori to succeed to be educated in the English way. From the time he left Te Aute College he worked to encourage scholarships and education for Maori.
He promoted Maori advancement through education. His most pressing problem was to rescue church boarding schools, the nursery of Maori leadership, from financial ruin. The depression of 22 had made it so difficult for Maori parents to send their children to boarding schools that they were in danger of closing down. Through different Native Acts, he enabled the creation of a Maori secondary schools aid fund. The fund, while ensuring Maori secondary schools stayed afloat, also provided 25 continuation scholarships of forty pounds per annum to encourage able pupils to attend Maori Secondary boarding schools.
Ngata had long advocated agricultural training for young Maori men which the Government ignored. The Maori purposes fund enabled him to establish his own training scheme whereby able students were sent to Hawkesbury Agricultural College in New South Wales, Australia.
He was instrumental in the establishment of a Maori School of Arts in Rotorua in and the construction of traditionally carved houses around the country. These successes for Ngata, small separately but enormous collectively, helped bridge the gap between Maori and European and were a tribute to his doggedness in wringing concessions from different Governments. It is an almost unique fact that the positive results of his long career in Parliament can still be seen around New Zealand today.
Perhaps one of the most unacknowledged facts of his long career was the esteem with which he was held by so many non-Maori, an achievement he shared with Buck and Pomare. With your hands grasp the tools of the Pakeha to sustain your physical needs. Your heart to the treasures of your ancestors as a crown for your head. Your spirit to god the creator of all things.
