New Zealanders want an education system where all children and young people can take part in education and can learn and achieve, whatever their needs or differences.

One in five children and young people need some kind of learning support.

The Learning Support Action Plan 2019 - 2025 sets out priority actions that will make the most difference, to ensure that children and young people get the right support, at the right time.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this plan to date. There will be more opportunities for collaboration and feedback as the plan is implemented.
