Hon JAN TINETTI: Online learning has been effective at keeping our kids safe from COVID-19 while continuing their education, but it does have its limitations. We do know that inequities existed in education prior to COVID-19, and we know that they are likely to have been exacerbated. That is why we have allocated targeted funding to ensure support is reaching those who need it most. Part of the $15 million package included a $3 million fund to support Māori ākonga; a $3 million fund to support Pacific learners; and a $1 million fund to support students with high to moderate learning needs. This is in addition to almost $3.5 million of extra funding for proven and effective existing programmes to improve attendance and re-engagement in schools.
