This paper summarises the key issues and challenges that have emerged from a recent major report by the authors on Ma¯ori-medium education in Aotearoa/New Zealand. The discussion is situated within a wider international analysis of bilingual/immersion programmes, including heritage language programmes for indigenous peoples. Key issues explored in the paper include the negotiation of, and occasional tension between, the wider goals of indigenous Ma¯ori language revitalisation and the successful achievement of bilingualism and biliteracy in Ma¯ori-medium educational contexts. Issues to do with current pedagogy, staffing and resourcing of Ma¯ori-medium programmes are also examined. The paper concludes with suggestions for the ongoing development and extension of Ma¯orimedium education.
