Members of YAG bring forward their insights to various departments that require the assistance of the Ministry of Education to help inform how the improvement of the education system can be implemented. After 3 years in Waikato’s Youth Secondary Tertiary Advisory Group, I was elected as the Waikato representative of the National YAG; to work for the Minister of Education. At the end of July, I made the trip to Parliament and attended long meetings, had robust discussions, and provided feedback to the Minister. It’s an honour and a privilege to be a member of a team that is directly involved in our education system.
