There are many contributors to effective learning support in education settings. School or kura leaders, teachers and kaiako, and teacher aides and kaiāwhina provide learning support through inclusive, school- or cluster-wide systems and practices, as well as through targeted support for those who need it. For those with more significant needs, education settings draw on external services such as those provided by Ministry of Education Learning Support, Resource Teachers, community organisations, and other health and social services, including specialist support networks.
