So I'm really proud to be part of a Government who understands this and has a realistic understanding of the struggles facing our whānau, especially our vulnerable whānau, and schools and teachers, who are currently having to find creative ways to ensure they can get engagement and face-to-face time with whānau to kōrero about their tamariki's academic outcome and identify any goals or areas that need further mahi or support. This can often mean teachers needing to go over and beyond. This could be, for example, having to do their weekends and knocking on whānaus' doors, as that's how important the face-to-face time with parents, caregivers, and teachers is.
