Umere proposes a 4 Point Plan for Kohanga Reo

On the eve of the national meeting of Kohanga Reo this Thursday at Turangawaewae, Maori language group Umere has developed a 4 Point Plan for the consideration of the kohanga reo movement.

The 4 Point Plan aims to secure the future for the movement by taking urgent action on issues that the current position holders are not addressing.

Umere Four Point Plan for Kōhanga Reo
1. That the TPO liquidate its assets and use this pūtea to support a 2 year building programme within the movement. If required, the head office should also be liquidated to meet the building needs of local kōhanga.
2. That the board receive 50% new membership, and that the constitution be altered so that membership on the board is not for life.
3. That kōhanga move to a living wage payment structure.
4. That a stronger qualifications and career pathway be developed by Te Kōhanga Reo.
