Te Wānanga o Raukawa is a unique centre for higher learning and development, dedicated to the dissemination of Māori knowledge. More than just educating our people, we wish to produce outstanding and sought after graduates who are Māori in the way they think, act and behave while also having the technical skills and qualifications they need to grow, inspire and uplift their whānau, hapū and iwi.  Many of our students have struggled within the confines of mainstream education but have thrived in the uniquely Māori environment provided at Te Wānanga o Raukawa.

Te Wānanga o Raukawa has been engaging with kura students since 1996.  The main benefit has been that the students have been able to complete or partly complete undergraduate diplomas and degrees while still attending kura and before completing their secondary education.
