RNZ reported (16 July 2017) that the three wānanga all made surpluses last year and increased their enrolments, with one doing so by nearly 40 percent.
The 2016 annual reports show the three Māori tertiary institutions had more than 25,000 full-time students between them last year.
The largest of the institutions, Te Wānanga o Aotearoa, had 20,242 full-time equivalent students, 250 more than in 2015, and made a surplus of $2.6 million.
