About the course
The aim of the programme is to produce graduates with the foundation knowledge and attitudes needed to access and impart knowledge, as drawn from the study of iwi and hapu values, knowledge and institutions, in a way that is consistent with the notion of a curriculum that is derived from a Maori world view and its application in the bilingual educational context. It also aims to develop in the student the proficiency to successfully plan, teach, manage and assess the delivery of curriculum under broad guidance in the primary school sector.
Entry requirements
Applicants must be at least 17 years old and consent to police disclosure of applicants (if any) police records and independent referees' reports on their character. They must also have a demonstrated interest in the topic and strong desire to be bilingual as well as evidence of support from a hapu or iwi.
About the provider
Te Wānanga o Raukawa is a tikanga Māori tertiary education provider with its main campus based in Ōtaki, Aotearoa, New Zealand. Hailed at the time as the 'smallest university in the world' Te Wānanga o Raukawa was established by the Raukawa Marae Trustees in 1981 with only two students.
A special and unique place of learning, Te Wānanga o Raukawa has become recognised over the last 30 years as an opportunity for all to learn within a tikanga Māori community under the principles of the iwi development strategy, Whakatupuranga Rua Mano: Generation 2000.
Whakatupuranga Rua Mano captured the health and wellbeing aspirations of the ART Confederation of Ngāti Toa Rangatira, Te Ati Awa ki Whakarongotai and Ngāti Raukawa ki te tonga in the lower North Island of Aotearoa. These are the founding iwi of Te Wānanga o Raukawa.
