Youth Advisory Group for education - did someone from your neighbourhood get in?

The Team from Ministry of Education

Today the Minister of Education announced the names of 12 young people aged 14-18 years, from across New Zealand to be part of his #YouthAdvisoryGroup for 2018.  It's a really fantastic opportunity for them to have their say about decisions that affect them and other young New Zealanders.

Did someone from your neighbourhood get in?  Check out the link to find out.  Thanks to everyone who applied and remember, you can still register for the #OnlineYouthForum and have your say #MyEducationMyVoice
