Why is it important to focus on te reo Māori in schools?
English-medium schools have the potential to play an important role in revitalising te reo Māori. Te Wāhanga – New Zealand Council for Educational Research is conducting research to support English-medium primary schools to develop strategic approaches to Māori language teaching and learning.
Through our research we have identified:
- Key reasons why English-medium primary schools should develop strategic approaches to teaching and learning te reo Māori
- Key issues for English-medium primary schools to consider when developing a strategic approach to Māori language teaching and learning
- Practices that create a positive impact on Māori language teaching and learning in English-medium primary schools.
