Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN: Apparently, COVID is not a contributing factor to attendance issues or illness—I find that striking. I would point to the fact that the member is drawing the numbers that he is referring to from a Ministry of Education report that shows that in the first week of term 1, around 90 percent of students were attending school in person nationally. It does point to the impact that COVID and absences have had, but that has not stopped Government investment to turn around attendance issues.
