Another government attack on Māori culture and training
Te Pāti Māori warns Govt of ‘million Māori’ wrath over $30m cut to Te Ahu o te Reo Māori programme
Te Pāti Māori is warning the Government of the “wrath of the million Māori” after a $30 million cut to a programme for teachers to learn te reo Māori.
It follows a South Auckland principal teacher’s union slamming the Government’s decision to cut funding to a programme for teachers to learn te reo Māori, saying staff are “extremely disappointed” and the move is “short-sighted”.
Earlier today, Education Minister Erica Stanford said the Te Ahu o te Reo Māori initiative “isn’t accredited” and the money would be better supercharging the maths curriculum.
