Teaching pre-schoolers Maori Language

Maori women have been the backbone of kohanga reo (language 'nurseries' where pre-schoolers were immersed in the language) since the first opened in 1982.

By July 2000 there were a total of 11,519 children attending 611 kohanga reo. Approximately 40,000 children have passed through kohanga reo since 1982.
