Ka whānau mai te reo
Ka Whānau mai te Reo: Honoring whānau, upholding reo Māori is a 3-year (2012–2015) kaupapa Māori research project that investigates how best to support the continuity of whānau reo Māori development during key educational
transitions.
MOE : Tau Mai Te Reo: The Māori Language in Education 2013 - 2017
Tau Mai Te Reo has been developed to ensure that there is a connected and cohesive approach to education contributions to support and strengthen the Māori language. This supports the obligations of the Ministry of Education and education sector agencies under Te Rautaki Reo Mäori – the Mäori Language Strategy.
Te Reo Māori i Tāmakimakaurau
Te reo is a taonga, but one in wide circulation, like the knowledge of how to make a fishing net discovered by Kahukura – a valuable resource for the entire populace. In this respect, revitalisation efforts cannot be bound by ethnic, regional or iwi-based exclusivenes. Thus, although the use, status, and transmission of te reo within the Māori community is of special relevance, facilitating the knowledge and use of the language within the community at large is also a vital concern; indeed, the two processes are interlinked.
Just let the revolution come
The call to make te reo Māori compulsory is getting louder and louder. This year, with Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori falling smack bang in the middle of the election, it’s almost impossible to ignore.
Te Rautaki Reo Māori - Government Māori Language Strategy 2014
The health of the Māori language declined over the last century. From the 1970s, Māori groups and communities have developed initiatives in an effort to revitalise the Māori language. The Government in turn created policies and programmes, and made funding available to support aspirations for the Māori language. In 2003, a revised Government Māori Language Strategy was released. The Strategy described the respective roles of Government and Māori in revitalising the Māori language, focussing particularly on re-establishing intergenerational language transmission.
