Poll: Should te reo Māori be compulsory in schools?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

There has been an ongoing discussion amongst political leaders (and Neighbourly members) around whether te reo should be compulsory in schools across New Zealand. It comes after news that the number of people in New Zealand able to speak te reo Māori is declining. What do you think? Should it be made compulsory? Do you think this will help retain the language?

Neighbourly's own Sarah Moore has started studying te reo Māori follow her journey here.
