Leading tertiary providers in New Zealand have realised these facts and have created
tertiary environments that not only cater for the general public, but provide specific learning styles, teachings and learning environments that are conducive to the continued promotion of Maori education. Those who are serious about Maori education have gone so far as to provide customary Maori buildings, such as the marae, which is not only the focus of the whanau, but learning and education. Plus some institutions provide a"Manaakitanga" programme designed to support students' success in their studies.
