New reo programmes for 2027
A new generation of te reo Māori learning
In 2027 we're proud to introduce seven new NZQA-approved te reo Māori qualifications and programmes, creating clearer pathways from beginner through to advanced levels.
Drawing on decades of experience delivering te reo Māori education, these new programmes provide smoother transitions between levels of study and increased support for tauira whose previous learning experiences may have created barriers in their learning journeys.
Whether you're just starting out or looking to continue building your confidence and fluency, our new programmes provide flexible pathways to help you achieve your goals while connecting more deeply with te reo Māori, tikanga Māori and te ao Māori.
