Answer

I am advised by the Ministry of Education (the Ministry) that from Monday 20 April 2026, all Ministry conveyance allowances will temporarily increase by approximately 30%. This includes: • daily school bus conveyance allowances • SESTA conveyance allowances • Technology Class conveyance allowances This increase will be applied until either: • 12 months from 20 April 2026, or • there have been four consecutive weeks where the price of 91 Octane fuel is below $3.00 a litre. This is also my response to written parliamentary question 11356 (2026).
