<p><b>New page</b></p><div>In the education system of [[New Zealand]], a ''Wānanga'' is a publicly owned tertiary institution that provides education in a Māori cultural context. <br />
<br />
In traditional times the word wānanga conveyed meanings related to highly evolved knowledge, lore, occult arts, and also "forum" in the sense of a discussion to arrive at deeper understanding.<br />
<br />
Section 162 of the Education Act 1989 (re-affirmed by the Waitangi Tribunal in 2005) specifies that wānanga resemble mainstream universities in many ways.<br />
<br />
Currently, wānanga offer certificates, diplomas, and bachelor-level degrees, with some wānanga providing programmes in specialized areas up to doctorate level.<br />
<br />
Wānanga educational programmes are accredited through the [[New Zealand Qualifications Authority]] (NZQA) and the Ministry of Education, and are partly governed by New Zealand's [[Tertiary Education Commission]] (TEC).<br />
