PARENTS OPEN TO TE REO MĀORI IN SCHOOLS, BUT MOST KIDS NOT BEING TAUGHTParents are open to Māori language being a core subject in primary schools, a survey suggests, though at present most students are not being taught the language. Māori Language Commission chief executive Ngahiwi Apanui said an Auckland University survey showed 40 percent of parents supported Māori being taught in primary schools, 46 percent were neutral while the remaining 14 percent were opposed. "Every child in Aoteoroa New Zealand has the right to learn te reo Māori. Not just Māori children, every child. I think the conditions are becoming right now for all schools to start asking for Māori as a subject in their classrooms." .... www.radionz.co.nz/news/national/310499/parents-open-to-te-reo-in-schools,-but-most-kids-not-being-taught
