What this means for Aotearoa

Families will be provided a free internet connection, to allow connection via any device in the household. This makes it possible for students to continue learning from home and keep on top of school work, and for families to gain digital literacy.

It is essential that we work to make sure every Kiwi has the opportunity to access the digital world. Our goal is to support a better future for Aotearoa through technology.
