Hon CHRIS HIPKINS (Minister of Education): Today, I announced that on-site learning at schools in level 3 regions will start from next Tuesday for years 11 to 13 students, which will allow them to prepare for end of year exams and complete NCEA assessments. The issue of school reopening is a complex one and it does require difficult trade-offs between improving education and increasing potential health risks for children and young people, many of whom cannot yet be vaccinated. Learners in this particular age group though, the senior secondary school age group, are able to be vaccinated and they'll be required to wear masks, and the staff and volunteers working on-site will need a negative COVID-19 test before they're able to attend. Further consideration is being given to years 1 to 10 at Cabinet next Tuesday.
