12.3.3 Te Whare Wänanga ö Raukawa<br />
Te Whare Wänanga ö Raukawa offers a number of programmes in <strong>Kahungunu</strong>. Among such<br />
programmes is Rangakura, a preservice kura kaupapa Mäori teacher education programme<br />
in Heretaunga and Wairoa.<br />
The hapu of Porangahau - Ngäti Kere, Ngäti Manuhiri and Ngäti Pihere, in partnership with<br />
Te Wänanga ö Raukawa offer marae based study (MBS) at Rongomaraeroa Marae. Courses<br />
include the Diploma in Mätauranga Mäori Yr1, the Bachelor Degree in Mätauranga Mäori Yr<br />
2 and the Diploma in Design and Art Yr 1. All studies are comprised of four distinct areas -<br />
Te Reo, iwi and hapu, a specialist subject and computer studies. The specialist areas include<br />
foundation in Mäori Art, marae performance, oral traditions and the Treaty of Waitangi. While<br />
whänau of these hapu drive the initiative, they attract people from other marae such as<br />
Korongata in Bridge Pa.<br />
12.3.4 Te Whare Wänanga ö Aotearoa<br />
One of the reasons Te Whare Wänanga ö Aotearoa is one of the fastest growing tertiary<br />
providers, particularly in the area of Mäori language, is that there is no cost to the student to<br />
undertake the introductory course - Te Ara Reo Mäori. Currently the Te Ara Reo Mäori courses<br />
are offered in Heretaunga, Ahuriri and Dannevirke with further plans to operate in Wairarapa,<br />
Wairoa and Tamatea. There are approximately 200 students in the Heretaunga and Ahuriri<br />
area and 60 in Dannevirke totalling 260 students across these three taiwhenua. Three tutors<br />
and three pouäwhina are contracted to tutor the course. The course is 36 weeks in duration<br />
and successful completion is awarded with a certificate of proficiency - Te Whare Wänanga<br />
ö Aotearoa Certificate.<br />
