Hon AUPITO WILLIAM SIO: The Government has made empowering Pacific Aoteroa a priority. Education is one way to achieve this goal. Pacific people have been under-represented in the STEAM fields for a long time and we are working hard to change this through the Toloa STEAM programme. We want Pacific peoples fulfilling their potential in the belief everyone in Aotearoa has the opportunity to succeed, be able to provide for their families, and contribute to the general economic recovery and wellbeing of Aotearoa New Zealand. With Toloa, the Government has created an ecosystem with Pacific learners, providers, and Pacific leaders where Pacific parents are feeling confident and excited about their children pursuing STEAM studies, and our Pacific youth are equally excited that they will own the digital economy. I congratulate all of our Toloa scholarship winners and I wish the students and their families the very best of luck as they pursue their dreams, leading in the forefront of the new Pacific Aotearoa.
