SOME KŌHANGA REO EXPECTED TO MISS OUT ON $12M PROPERTY MAINTENANCE
Kōhanga reo received a $12 million boost from the 2024 government to spend over four years for property maintenance and upgrade cost pressures but Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust tumu whakarae Angus Hartley says some kōhanga will still have to miss out.
“That $12 million was not the final amount, it’s not what we applied for, and we had a work programme in place around that with that expectation that we would try to get that full amount.
“After we reprioritise the work programme again and have that discussion with whānau, we will have to go out and start that conversation all over again with our whānau because some [kōhanga] are going to miss out.”
Hartley did not disclose how much more they had applied for but did say it was “significantly more,” which he said would had covered at least 50 kōhanga reo over the course of three years.
He was disappointed by the amount granted due to some buildings needing urgent repairs.....
