Hon JAN TINETTI (Associate Minister of Education): The Government has provided a targeted $15 million package to help re-engage Auckland students in their education, following long periods of the distance learning that has been necessary to keep kids safe from COVID-19. Our teachers have done an incredible job at delivering education online for our students, especially in Auckland. Online learning has been necessary and has meant many students are able to continue their education while staying safe from COVID-19. But it has its challenges. This $15 million package includes a mix of community-based and targeted support, and covers targeted support for Māori and Pacific students, a rapid resurgence fund, deployment of the TK400 programme, additional funding for learning support, additional counselling services, scaling up of the Check and Connect programme, and additional funding for the Attendance Service. This funding is already hitting the ground and I know it is making a difference.
