BaselineMonitoringReport Te Reo Maori and Te Ao Maori Provision ← Kaupapa Maori Tertiary Education | Home Page | Maori Staff in Tertiary Education Organisations → Tertiary education has a key role to play in supporting knowledge and understanding of te ao Māori and revitalisation of te reo Māori. These are critical areas enabling Māori to live as Māori and to participate fully in Māori society and culture. Tertiary education provision in this area can be looked at in terms of three broad types of courses: te reo Māori courses, education of teachers to teach in te reo Māori and courses about te ao Māori. This report provides information on participation in these areas by level and type of provider. Participation is reported here at course level and across the full year. The general pattern shown across these three areas is one of high participation by women, compared with men. In the areas of te reo Māori and te ao Māori, the majority of students were women. Most of the provision in these areas was through wānanga and below degree level. There is a larger proportion of non-Māori enrolled in bilingual and immersion teaching courses and these courses were more evenly spread across sub-sectors, with colleges of education having the largest numbers of students. Increased participation in te reo Māori coursesFrom 2000 to 2002 there was significant growth in enrolments in te reo Māori courses. Over the full year of 2002, around 23,000 people enrolled in te reo Māori courses through tertiary education providers. Most of these people were enrolled in formal courses (78 percent). The rest were enrolled through community education.
Of the total people enrolled through tertiary providers in 2002, 65 percent were enrolled with wānanga, 21 percent with polytechnics, 10 percent with universities and the rest with PTEs. Eighty-seven percent were taking courses that were part of below degree-level qualifications and nearly all the rest were part of degree qualifications. Less than one percent were at postgraduate level. Sixty-six percent of the people studying the courses were women. Seventy-seven percent of the total were Māori. A further 3,000 students were enrolled in te reo Māori courses through community education provided by secondary schools. Two-thirds of these students were non-Māori. Stable growth in Māori bilingual and immersion teacher educationOver the full year of 2002, around 3,400 people were enrolled in courses related to bilingual and immersion teaching in te reo Māori1. These numbers included people taking bilingual and immersion papers within a general teaching qualification, as well as those doing specialist teaching qualifications in bilingual and immersion education. This was an increase of 11 percent on 2000 enrolments and represented 11.8 percent of total enrolments in 2002 in qualifications in the field of education.
Forty percent were enrolled with colleges of education, 22 percent with universities, 17 percent with wānanga, 11 percent with polytechnics and 10 percent with PTEs. Ninety-six percent were formal students. Fifty-eight percent were studying towards degree-level qualifications, two percent towards postgraduate qualifications and the rest were studying for diplomas. Eighty percent of the students were women and 54 percent were Māori. Increased participation in te ao Māori coursesFrom 2000 to 2002 there was significant growth in enrolments in te ao Māori courses. Over the full year of 2002, around 40,000 people were enrolled in courses related to aspects of te ao Māori (excluding te reo Māori courses). These courses covered the areas of tikanga Māori, Māori creative arts and hauora (Māori health). The majority were classified as tikanga Māori, but these are quite wide ranging in course content. Most of the people were enrolled in formal courses (89 percent) with the rest being enrolled through community education.
Eighty-one percent of the students were enrolled in wānanga, eight percent in polytechnics and eight percent in universities. Only two percent were enrolled in PTEs. Nearly all the courses were below degree level (90 percent), with just under one percent at postgraduate level. Seventy-four percent of the students were women and 80 percent were Māori. 1 This number may include some students who are studying bilingual and immersion education in other languages and courses on the general principles of bilingual and immersion education. However, students studying for Pasifika qualifications in immersion and bilingual education have been excluded.
