Answer

The Māori Education Ministerial Advisory Group (MAG) provided me with advice on the proposals for change. Overall, the MAG advised me they endorsed the direction of change. Both officials and I continue to meet with the MAG to discuss how we are reflecting their feedback with the design and implementation of the new qualifications.
