Mereana Selby: Wānanga now able to self-determine how they operate.

Earlier this week the Education and Training Amendment Bill passed its third reading in Parliament meaning wānanga are able to choose for themselves how they operate. Wānanga can choose to remain a bespoke Crown entity or convert to a non-Crown entity and be accountable to iwi, hapū or another Māori organisation. Mereana Selby is the tumuaki of Te Wānanga o Raukawa, the first wānanga to be established, she speaks to Māpuna about what the new law means.
