Transforming our education system requires long-term funding, policy, and support across all political parties.
Every party must recognise that investing in public education is a direct investment in our children's future.
This election year, the most important thing you can do for our tamariki is to enrol and vote.
Vote for quality public education!
So all tamariki can thrive
