The minister said Term 2 would continue to prioritise strengthening teaching and learning, addressing learning gaps, and improving literacy and numeracy outcomes across all year levels.

Parents and guardians were also reminded of their role in supporting regular school attendance, healthy routines and positive behaviour at home.

Teachers reported to their respective schools today for planning and preparation ahead of the new term, while boarding students have also returned to campuses.

Radrodro also called on parents and members of the vanua to work closely with school leaders to support students and school communities.
