Bilingual Education

Samoan bilingual education in New Zealand is part of a broader effort to support Pacific languages and cultures within the school system. With Samoan being the most spoken Pacific language in New Zealand, there is a growing emphasis on promoting bilingualism and biliteracy to support student identity, wellbeing, and academic success. 

Benefits of Samoan bilingual education include:

Preservation of language and culture
Increased student engagement and confidence
Stronger academic outcomes, particularly when students are able to draw on their cultural identity and home language
Support for intergenerational transmission of Samoan language
