Subject: Official Information request - Language use in ECE services

Dear Ministry of Education,

Under the official information act, I am requesting the following pieces of information:

1) The number of ECE services that reported using the following languages as part of their teaching each year, split by territorial authority, local board, service type and proportion of time the language is used, since 2006.

• Te Reo
• Pasfika
• Samoan
• Tongan
• Cook Island Māori
• Niuean
• Tokelauan
• Pukapukan
• Fijian
• Other Pasifika Languages
• Chinese (also broken down by its constituent languages)
• Hindi
• Gujarati
• Malay
• Vietnamese
• Japanese
• Korean
• Panjabi
• Sign language

2) A copy of the "ECE Services by Language Use" document that was removed from the Education Counts website last year and replaced with a message stating that the data is currently being updated.

Yours faithfully,

Samuel Payne
