NZSL language planning priorities

This section of the Strategy describes the purpose of the five language planning priorities and the aspirations of how each priority will look like in five years’ time.

NZSL acquisition and use/access are the key language priorities within the Strategy due to the importance of Deaf and other NZSL users being able to fully learn and use NZSL in all domains of society. The remaining three language priorities: attitude, documentation and status play essential supporting roles to the achievement of NZSL acquisition and use/access.
