Embracing diversity through picture books
|
New Zealand is one of the most culturally diverse nations in the world. The 2018 census showed that of the New Zealand residents surveyed, 27.4 per cent of people counted were not born in New Zealand, up from 25.2 per cent in 2013.
"Those with an overseas birthplace were born in almost every country in the world, including 15 people born at sea," census general manager Kathy Connolly said in a Stats NZ article on the topic of diversity in New Zealand.
Three years later, that figure has only increased, and it is reflected by the diversity of children enrolled in early childhood education centres throughout the country.
