Maori is not a second language for the NZ population; it is a foreign language for them (or a heritage one for the 15% maori minority). The primary school can't even teach foreign language to A1 level reliably; and A1 is nothing, especially for children.

As a bonus, try to guess how many guided learning hours it takes to teach a child color names in a foreign language.
