Quotes attributable to Minister for Education Lauren Moss:
“2021 has been another challenging year and there have been a number of interruptions across our schools, but I am proud of the hard work and dedication demonstrated by all of our Year 12 students, teachers and the entire Northern Territory school community this year.
“The NTCET results are an indication of the commitment and focus of our Year 12 students, and a testament to the efforts of our quality teachers and support staff who have worked tirelessly to assist our students to achieve the best results.
“I wish all our students the very best for their future study and career endeavours.”
