Today’s TVNZ story about Deaf education has brought new attention to the ongoing challenges faced by families with deaf children, Deaf students, Ko Taku Reo staff, and the wider Deaf community.
We want to acknowledge the deep frustration and emotional impact this story may have on viewers.
We want to remind everyone that our complaint to the Office of the Ombudsman is still ongoing and focuses on systemic issues within the Deaf education sector.
