Answer

I refer the Member to the list below received from Education agencies for the week beginning 26 January 2026. Tertiary Education Commission 30 January 2026 - Fees for the New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology Council Ministry of Education 29 January 2026 - Options for ongoing funding for strategically important VET provision 29 January 2026 - TEWU 29 January 2026 29 January 2026 - TREF Phase 2 approach to polytechnics, Wānanga and PTEs 29 January 2026 - Further detail to support decisions on the remaining polytechnic divisions This answer does not cover members of my office who receive a large amount of material every week. Asking them to collate that material would require substantial collation and research and prevent them from undertaking their substantive roles. Please note some titles have been withheld as they are either sensitive in nature or still under active consideration. It is not in the public interest to release them at this time.
