About Te Wāhanga
Te Wāhanga views Māori education and development as the intergenerational transfer of knowledge - which includes knowledge content, the method of knowledge transfer, and the ability of Māori to be in a position to determine what is transferred and how. Māori education and development is about Māori having the authority (rangatiratanga) to determine what is valued as knowledge, what is worthy of transfer, and what will best contribute to whānau health and wellbeing. It is also about recognising and affirming Māori cultural institutions, including whānau and marae, and the role they play in Māori education.
