Ms Caitlin Faye Maniti:

Taster subjects are something we highly recommend. I did taster subjects for a different school where there is a competition for that. I explored many other subjects and felt it was very helpful in my choice of subjects. I was able to find what I was interested in. A lot of students find taster subjects really helpful for them. That would be something I would recommend and ISSU would recommend as well when it comes to STEM subjects.

On the quality of the laboratory, machinery or resources in DEIS schools, I would bring it back to broadband specifically. There is a massive gap that we saw during Covid when the learning and teaching experience went to online learning in an innovative way. Those students from DEIS schools or rural or disadvantaged areas were left behind in their education for those two years during Covid. That is something I really want to highlight.
