This report from the Ka Whānau Mai Te Reo project puts the spotlight on te reo Māori at times of transition. It explores the diverse aspirations whānau have for their reo development and it looks at the pathways available to whānau to support those aspirations at three key points: starting school, moving from primary to secondary school, and moving beyond secondary school.

The report is guided by a whanaungatanga methodology that focuses on the reo Māori issues whānau experience. It is based on discussions with whānau involved in all parts of the education sector and from a wide variety of backgrounds in terms of their reo Māori ability and experience.
