Lesley Hoskin: Teaching Council CEO on level of te reo Māori required by teachers - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

Discussion over the level of te reo required by the country's teachers.

The Teaching Council has told the Abuse in Care Inquiry, that competence in te reo Māori will eventually become mandatory for teachers.

But there's no plan to make fluency in the language compulsory.

Council Chief Executive, Lesley Hoskin, told Mike Hosking they are led by the profession and the profession has yet to suggest compulsory te reo is fair or reasonable.
