While it is good to preserve the language, each person has a finite amount of learning time available. Approximately 1 million New Zealanders live overseas, and about 15% of New Zealanders are immigrants who claim a non-Anglo, non-Maori heritage. Learning a language such as French, German, Spanish, Indonesian, Chinese, Korean, Japanese etc. would give an individual much greater flexibility in the future should they choose to pursue a career or a life outside of New Zealand, and even within New Zealand, having a widely spoken second language would increase a person's opportunities especially when doing business with foreign companies and entities. Maori is only used in New Zealand and it is only 'useful' in the sense that learning Old Mercian would be useful to a historian or anthropologist who studies pre 1066 England, and making it compulsory for all Kiwis would be the equivalent of France making Occitan compulsory for all French students. The usefulness of Te reo has been artificially inflated by government policies.
