Hon AUPITO WILLIAM SIO: Pacific peoples are the youngest and fastest-growing population group in New Zealand, and we'll need to support their educational achievements to ensure they fully realise their potential in supporting New Zealand's accelerated economic recovery. The Government's response is also based on the leadership direction from the Pacific communities themselves, who told us during the fonos held in 2018 and 2019 that they wanted a dedicated Pacific education plan and support to help Pacific learners succeed. This Government is working harder than any other Government to lift Pacific wellbeing by collaborating across agencies and the community; having dedicated, targeted funding; and trusting Pacific peoples to provide innovative educational solutions—far better than that lot when they were in Government.
