Hon CHRIS HIPKINS (Minister of Education): The Wellbeing Budget of 2021 invested $100 million for short-term roll growth classrooms right the way across New Zealand. This will enable students and teachers to focus on education rather than overcrowding as school rolls grow across the country. The Budget also invested $150 million in top-up funding for shovel-ready school property projects to top up those budgets for projects that were already under way or ready to get under way but needed an extra funding boost so they could begin construction in the current challenging market. All children deserve a suitable classroom to learn in, and it's our responsibility to ensure that they have that so that they can get the best possible educational opportunities. School property investment also represents an injection into our local economy as we recover from COVID-19.
