Te Reo Maori Should Be Compulsory In New Zealand Schools?

Te Reo Maori Should Be Compulsory In New Zealand Schools?

• It’s New Zealand native language,
• Learning Maori can help with understanding multiple languages.
• Can increase career opportunities.

Should Te Reo Maori be compulsory in New Zealand schools? Yes, I absolutely agree with this questions! But why? Maori language is the original language that was born here in New Zealand, it can help with understanding and learning more languages to speak to others, and it can increase career opportunities! And here are the reasons why.

New Zealand, home town to all Te Reo Maori language. So shouldn’t the kids of Aotearoa speak this Maori language? Absolutely! It can teach younger children history or the native language that is used throughout New Zealand and was used every since the very first people set foot on this country. Te Reo Maori can also be beneficial for students in multiple schools and can increase the population for Maori people.

Te Reo Maori is a simple language that is easy to understand and learn, it’s also similar to other languages. As learning Maori it can help you learn and understand other languages without a big hustle. You would also have the ability to understand Maori and you can teach others this language as well. Students can learn about the relationships between different words and structures. 

Maori language can increase many career opportunities. Having the ability to understand and speak Te Reo Maori you can get more opportunities and options for jobs. And many jobs want staff who can understand Te Reo Maori so it can help towards communication with customers.

So maybe the Maori language should be taught in schools! Maybe it should become compulsory for many students to understand and speak!
