Kia tiakina te mātauranga ki te reo Māori
Fostering education in te reo Māori
Te Ahu o te Reo Māori means the future pathway of te reo Māori – a pathway that seeks to inspire and aspire for improved te reo Māori proficiency, acquisition and use across the education sector.
It also provides opportunities for te reo Māori to be normalised, and Māori identity and culture, to be shared and embraced.
Te Ahu o te Reo Māori aims to grow and strengthen an education workforce that can integrate te reo Māori into the learning of all ākonga in Aotearoa.

Ka ako au i te aha? | What will I learn?
Te Ahu o te Reo Māori is based on a seven level te reo Māori competency framework called Ngā Taumata o Te Ahu o te Reo Māori.
The five focus areas include:
- Local dialect – local words, phrases, karakia, waiata and sayings
- Use – Practise of reo use appropriate for a classroom setting
- Grammar – foundations of grammar and writing conventions
- Curriculum – development of learning content for regular activity
- Revitalisation – language planning for the school/ early learning services/ classroom
Ka pēhea taku akoako? | How will I learn?
Your commitment to learning te reo Māori will mean you will participate in learning for up to 120 hours over 12-14 weeks.
The learning will be delivered in a variety of ways including, but not exclusive to, weekly classes, on-line lessons, tutorials and noho marae (overnight stay/ learning experiences).
To support you to feel comfortable and confident to use what you have learnt in your classrooms you will also participate in an 8 week post-delivery course to help embed and enhance teaching and learning activities.
