Maihi Karauna

Kia māhorahora te reo
Maihi Karauna: Refresh Underway

 

The Maihi Karauna was developed and issued by the Minister for Māori Development. It is implemented by Crown agencies and coordinated by Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori. It takes a ‘macro’ approach by focusing on creating conditions for te reo Māori to thrive and ensuring government systems support this. 

The Maihi Karauna sets out three audacious goals to achieve by 2040

  • 85% of New Zealanders (or more) will value te reo Māori as a key part of national identity.
  • 1 million New Zealanders (or more) will have the ability and confidence to talk about basic things in te reo Māori.
  • 150,000 Māori aged 15 and over will use te reo Māori as much as English.

The Maihi Karauna complements the Maihi Māori, the revitalisation strategy of iwi and Māori.
