説明

The language of instruction used in schools in the Pacific is an ongoing and contentious issue. The Cook Islands is a small nation with a rich oral history, in which formal education was initiated soon after the arrival of the British missionary John Williams in 1821. This paper traces the development of schooling, and the changes in policy of language use in schools in the Cook Islands from 1827 to the passing of the Te Reo Maori Act 2003. The predominance of use of either Cook Islands Maori or of English in the education system has alternated a number of times over this time period. The legacy of the shifting language policies is still evident in the Cook Islands today.
