Answer

I am advised that, in the 2023/24 financial year, the following amounts were spent on the Carbon Neutral Government Programme • The Ministry of Education: $5,112,112 • The Education Review Office: $12,124 • Education New Zealand: $16,093. I am advised that the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) does not budget separately for the Carbon Neutral Government programme. NZQA’s carbon neutral expenditure in 2023/24 of $13,000 relates to the Toitū audit and annual membership fees.
