During the 1970s, a group of young Māori people, the Ngā Tamatoa, successfully campaigned for Māori to be taught in schools. Also, Kohanga Reo, Māori language preschools, called language nests, were established. The emphasis was on teaching children the language at a young age, a very effective strategy for language learning. The Māori Language Commission was formed in 1987, leading to a number of national reforms aimed at revitalizing "te reo Māori". They include media programs broadcast in "te reo Māori", undergraduate college programs taught in "te reo Māori", and an annual Māori language week. Each "iwi", or tribe, created a language planning program catering to its specific circumstances. These efforts have resulted in a steady increase in children being taught in "te reo Māori" in schools since 1996, creating a significant number of fluent speakers and making Māori prominent and useful in the people's daily lives. The program has been so successful that similar programs have been based on it.
