Wānanga Māori are one step away from determining their own legislative and governance framework.
Wānanga Māori are one step away from determining their own legislative and governance framework.
Parliament has passed the second reading of the Education and Training Amendment Bill, which allows the three current wānanga – Raukawa, Aotearoa and Awanuiārangi – to establish their own individual governance structures.
These can include representatives of iwi, hapū or other Māori organisations, and they’ll determine for themselves how and when they intervene if they believe the wānanga is at risk.
Associate Education Minister Kelvin Davis says the Bill tries to reflects te tiriti relationships and the mana rangatiratanga of wānanga.
The third and final reading of the Education and Training Bill is yet to be confirmed.
