| Description |
In April 2006, New Zealand Sign Language (NZSL) became an official language of New Zealand, joining English and Te Reo Māori. The parliamentary bill to approve this passed its third reading on 6 April 2006, and received Royal Assent, a constitutional formality, on 10 April 2006. NZSL became an official language of New Zealand the day after Royal Assent. The use of NZSL as a valid medium of instruction has not always been accepted by the government, the Association of Teachers of the Deaf, or many parents of deaf children. However, in light of much research into its validity as a language and much advocacy by deaf adults, parents of deaf children (both hearing and deaf), and educationalists, NZSL has since become part of the bilingual/ bicultural approach used in New Zealand public schools. The importance of NZSL to children is shown in this anonymous submission to the Justice and Electoral Committee. It comes from a larger record of submissions on the bill, including two delivered in video format from Kelston Day Education Centre and Freyberg High School.
