	Waitangi Tribunal - About the Reports
		Wananga are modern tertiary education providers based on an ancient Maori institution of advanced learning known as whare wananga.
		One of the principal objectives of wananga Maori is to establish a Maori-controlled system of tertiary education with an emphasis on the key principle of matauranga Maori.
		The claimants assert that wananga are assisting to reverse the negative statistics of Maori in education and employment.

	Wanaga Reo - Aotahi: School of Māori and Indigenous Studies - University of Canterbury - New Zealand
		The Wananga Reo Rumaki is a total immersion Māori language wananga, usually a week long, similar to the wananga reo held by Ngati Raukawa and in Waikato.
		These wananga have been held since 1979 in Te Ika a Maui on various marae and kaiako from these wananga are invited to assist kaiako from Te Whare Wananga o Waitaha, to run our wananga.
		The Wananga Reo Rumaki does not use formal assessment, but it is important that students have progress reports and feedback from their kaiako.

		The claims made of Wananga staff behaviour are truly staggering; a massive luxury car fleet (for which a grooming contract was let untendered to the ex-husband of a senior manager) and the inducements, including free laptops, handed out "to get bums on seats".
		The latest rort claimed is that Wananga enrolled students (including graduates) and staff in a Cuban literacy and numeracy course allegedly sold to the wananga for a seven-figure sum by its chief executive's fiancé.
		However, the people who should be pilloried are not Wananga staff, many of whom are no doubt dedicated and hard-working, but the officials who, by turning a blind eye, have destroyed Wananga's credibility - and that of all Maori educational institutions.

	Waitangi Tribunal - About the Reports
		On 28 May 1998, the claimants requested that urgency be granted on the ground that all three wananga were seriously affected by the Crown’s failure to resource adequately a major and important Maori education initiative.
		The claimants allege that this is discriminatory and that the Crown’s failure to resource wananga on a similar basis as TEIs established before 1990 is in clear breach of the Treaty principle of partnership.
		Counsel appearing were Carolyn Wait, representing Te Wananga o Aotearoa and Te Wananga o Raukawa; Joseph Williams and Gillian Warren, representing Te Whare Wananga o Awanuiarangi; and Mike Doogan and Helen Carrad, representing the Crown.

	EDITORIAL: Institute's grievance misplaced - Hawkes Bay Today - Dec 27 2005 11:55AM - localnews
		The tribunal was ruling on a claim brought by members of the wananga's parent body, the Aotearoa Institute.
		The tribunal feeds the view that the wananga is a victim of a racist conspiracy that is determined to prevent a successful Maori university succeeding.
		The tribunal has done the wananga a disservice in misinterpreting the efforts of the Government trying to fix the effects of past indulgent stewardship.

	Beehive.govt.nz - Actions initiated for wananga
		Education Minister Trevor Mallard announced today that he had initiated two holding actions following advice that Te Wananga O Aotearoa is on the brink of insolvency, and will be unable to meet its financial commitments over the next fortnight, including wages to staff and payments to creditors.
		But advice from the crown manager indicates that the financial situation at the wananga is so precarious that I am obliged to take all action available to me under the Education Act for the sake of the students, staff and creditors.
		The purpose of the appointment is to take control of all financial responsibilities previously held by the Council, to control and stabilise the wananga, and to restore public confidence in the financial management and accountability of the tertiary education institution at senior management and governance levels.

		We are also told that the wananga purchased the Cuban numeracy and literacy programme ‘Greenlight’ from the chief executive’s American fiancée for an undisclosed seven figure sum.
		In the 1990s three Maori education providers, Te Wananga O Aotearoa and two others, decided that they were Maori "universities" and that they ought to receive funding on the same basis as the country's universities.
		Te Wananga O Aotearoa is proof that outrageous Treaty claims are not only heard by the Tribunal but are also successful.

	Hon Trevor Mallard - Export Education Levy : Work programme implementation
		The government acknowledges the significant gains that Te Wananga o Aotearoa (the wananga) has contributed to Maori education, in particular by engaging large numbers of learners who have previously been disenfranchised by the education system.
		Officials advise that the wananga does feel that it has not been treated fairly by the Crown in a range of ways and it is likely therefore that the Council would use the Commission to advance such concerns in ways that would be counter-productive to the effective progress of the inquiry.
		There were intensive discussions with the wananga in November/December which really got into impasse around the issue of the proportion of students who were and would be Maori (currently under 50%).

	Te Wananga o Aotearoa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Te Wananga O Aotearoa was founded in 1984 in Te Awamutu as the Waipa Kōkiri Centre.
		During this time, Te Wananga O Aotearoa had also begun rapidly developing its research culture, but New Zealand's Tertiary Education Commission announced a decision that systemic international comparison of research outputs would not be beneficial for New Zealand universities.
		Similar justifications are used to explain Te Wananga O Aotearoa's use of noho marae (weekend workshops) and distance learning formats for many of its courses that attained unprecedented levels of success among predominantly Maori students.

		Te Wananga o Aotearoa is a huge institution worth hundreds of millions of dollars; in comparison with its size $20 million is a reasonable amount of money in the circumstances.
		One of the real successes of the wananga is that it has provided a number of courses for free, making sure Maori are not doubly penalised in their desire to obtain the education they were entitled to in the first place.
		In terms of the wananga, the Greens believe that it should be supported and assisted to provide the services it is designed to provide, that it does a fantastic job of providing those services to Maori communities, and that the scrutiny it is suffering is a race-based scrutiny.

		Te Wananga o Aotearoa chief Rongo Wetere yesterday echoed Mr English's view that the wananga was being being used as a scapegoat, saying the minister was "on a witch-hunt to reduce the size and influence of the wananga".
		Dr Wetere maintained there had not been financial impropriety at the wananga and made it clear that while an inquiry was welcomed to clear the institution's name, it would not bow to some of Mr Mallard's plans to rein it in.

	HERDSA 05 - Abstract 217
		Whare Wananga (Maori tertiary institutions) have emerged from this milieu of resistance, with their precedence in kohanga reo (early childhood language nests), kura kaupapa Maori and wharekura (primary and secondary schools).
		This resistance was borne of a withdrawal from the grand narrative of the coloniser, where Maori engaged in a counter-hegemonic struggle against the continuous interrogation of power.
		This symposium describes the establishment and development of Te Whare Wananga o Awanuiarangi, from its instigation as a resistance to the dominant constructs of the university to its current status of being the first Maori tertiary wananga to be awarded doctoral degree granting status.

		Along with others, including Pahoro Te Tio, he was a contemporary of Moihi Te Matorohanga, to whom they deferred in all matters concerning the teachings of the Whare Wananga (House of Learning).
		The teachings of this whare wananga were recorded by the scribe, Te Whatahoro Jury, and were subsequently used as the basis of many of the writings of non-Maori ethnologists such as S.P.Smith and E.Best.

		If a definition of wananga then, is that it has provided a doorway into higher learning for thousands of tangata whenua who have been alienated or marginalised in other centres, than that in itself is a laudable goal, which you could all be guilty of over-achieving.
		For the value of wananga in providing opportunities for abstract thinking, for fluid discussion, to debate philosophy, to stimulate intellectual growth, to deconstruct existing paradigms and start anew, cannot be under-estimated.
		In much the same way, wananga must be able to recognise the authority of whanau, hapu and iwi and to assert tribal differences; to establish their own style.

		Along with Maori-language kindergartens and schools, TWOA and two other wananga were established in the wake of a rise in Maori struggles in the 1970s and 1980s.
		According to the Herald, Wetere “said enrollments at other wananga were as low as 2,500 and his would not accept being culled to that size… Students were entitled to choice and the government had no right to restrict the courses being offered, including those to non-Maori.”
		Unable at this stage to get any of the mud slinging to stick, the government has begun to negotiate with TWOA on how long the manager will be in financial control and on the number and racial mix of its students.
