	Kohanga reo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The kohanga reo (English: language nests) are kindergartens where all instruction is given in the Maori language.
		Kohanga reo were initially established in 1982, when there were real fears that the Maori language was dying out.
		The success of the kohanga reo programme is such that now they have been supplemented with primary schools and secondary schools where Maori remains the primary language of instruction.

		Te Köhanga Reo is a total immersion te reo Mäori whänau (family) programme for mokopuna (young children) from birth to six years of age to be raised within its whänau Mäori, where the language of communication will be Mäori.
		The Trust board and the whänau Köhanga Reo administer the kaupapa to ensure the safety and well-being of the mokopuna and the whänau and to ensure the survival of te reo Mäori.
		The literal translation of the words 'Köhanga Reo', 'language nest', indicates that the retention of the Mäori language is one of the central objectives of the Köhanga Reo movement.

		The idea of setting up kohanga reo (language nests) for pre-school children was born at a large tribal hui (meeting) in 1980.
		Following Maori tradition, which focussed on the extended family (whanau), each kohanga was to be run by a community which spanned the generations from the elderly fluent Maori-speakers through the parents to the children themselves.
		As the contributions from the kohanga nowhere near meet the bill, the fund is hoping for government assistance.

		Te Kohanga Reo literally means "the language nest." A kihanga is a centre that immerses young children in Maori language and culture within a nurturing and protective environment that includes the Maori concept of whanau or extended family.
		A kohanga reo is a whanau/family base where a deliberate effort is made to create a Maori cultural environment, in which Maori language values and customs are naturally acquired by preschool children from their kaumatua (elders).
		Commentators have focused on the achievements of the kohanga reo movement in relation to two areas: (i) social and political change -- within communities and the country as a whole; and (ii) the provision of bilingual, bicultural early childhood education for individual Maori children.
