MonitoringReport2004 Kaupapa Maori Provision ← Engagement with Maori and Iwi | Home Page | Maori Research Staff → The TES includes an emphasis on ensuring the availability of robust options for kaupapa Māori tertiary education. There are two major groups of providers in this area: the wānanga (in the public tertiary sector) and Māori providers (in the private tertiary sector). TEI profiles show that some TEIs are looking more at kaupapa Māori provision. Continued growth in wānangaThe number of students attending wānanga has continued to grow, with 65,400 students attending in 2003, up 47 percent on 44,600 in 2002. The major growth continues to be at Te Wānanga o Aotearoa, which increased to 63,250 students in 2003, accounting for 97 percent of wānanga students. However, student numbers at Te Wānanga o Awanuiārangi more than doubled, from 460 in 2002 to 1,160 in 2003. Student numbers at Te Wānanga o Raukawa declined from 2,290 to 1,910. A large amount of the recent growth has been in non-Māori enrolments at Te Wānanga o Aotearoa. Māori enrolments have started to level out, with only a 14 percent increase from 2002 to 2003. The majority of enrolments at wānanga continue to be at certificate level. However, there has been a significant increase in enrolments in level 4 certificates. Most of these enrolments are for te reo Māori qualifications. Enrolments at diploma and degree level are also steadily increasing, albeit in relatively smaller numbers.  Formal domestic students enrolled in wānanga by qualification level 1997–2003 Twenty-four percent of students who completed a level 1 to 3 certificate at a wānanga in 2002, enrolled in a higher-level qualification in 2003. This rate of progression compares favourably with universities (with a higher-level progression rate of 29 percent from level 1 to 3 certificates) and is significantly higher than the rate for polytechnics (18 percent).
Māori private training establishmentsNew baseline indicator In 2003, there were 122 PTEs that self-identified as Māori providers and provided data returns to the Ministry of Education1. As at 31 July 2003, there were 5,520 domestic students enrolled with these providers, of which 3,680 were Māori. The total enrolment numbers in Māori PTEs have been stable over the last six years. In 2003, just under one in three Māori students (29 percent) enrolled in a PTE was enrolled with a Māori PTE.  Māori formal students in PTEs by type of provider 1998–2003 Three out of four students at Māori PTEs (77 percent) were studying for certificate-level qualifications in 2003. Most of the rest (17 percent) were studying for diploma-level qualifications. However, Māori PTEs had a significant role in terms of providing bachelors and postgraduate qualifications for Māori within the PTE sector. Three-quarters of Māori bachelors students and five out of a total of seven Māori masters students in PTEs were studying in a Māori PTE. NZQA audit cycle data shows improving management capability in Māori PTEs. The proportion of Māori PTEs on two or three year audit cycles increased from 9 percent in the year to June 2001 to 38 percent in the year to March 2004. Placement on these longer term cycles indicates significant satisfaction with the management systems and processes. 1 There were a total of 161 registered PTEs that self-identified to NZQA as Māori providers. This analysis only covers those that had formal students enrolled as at 31 July 2003.
