Wānanga

In the education system of New Zealand, a wānanga is a publicly-owned tertiary institution or Māori university that provides education in a Māori cultural context.

Wānanga offer certificates, diplomas, and bachelor-level degrees, with some wānanga providing programmes in specialized areas up to doctorate level.

[2] Outside the 21st-century formal education system, the word wānanga in the Māori language traditionally conveys meanings related to highly evolved knowledge, lore, occult arts,[3] and also "forum" – in the sense of a discussion to arrive at deeper understanding.

[citation needed] The Education and Training Act 2020 underwent proposed amendments to better recognize the role of wānanga in New Zealand’s tertiary education system.
