Hon JAN TINETTI: We know that for some young people and their families, the financial barriers to attending and engaging in school every day have been a real challenge. The changes this Government has made to address those are based on evidence, but also from conversations we have had with schools and families on what works. Every time I go into a school that has the free healthy lunches programme, I hear from teachers what a positive difference it makes to both the attendance of the students and their engagement in afternoon learning now that these kids have food in their bellies. This Government will face the challenges of attendance and engagement at school head on, and we will turn this ship around. This Government is committed to doing things better for our tamariki, for the future of Aotearoa, because we know our young people deserve the best.
