$34.6M TO SUPPORT TE REO MĀORI REVIVAL

Three funds in this year’s Budget 2016 will contribute towards increasing the number of proficient Māori language speakers.

$12 million over four years has been set aside to establish and fund the operations of Te Mātāwai, a new Crown independent entity established under the Māori Language Act 2016.

An additional $12 million over four years has been allocated for Te Reo Māori Whānau and Community language planning.
