Answer

I refer the Member to the attached table that sets out the number of Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) staff who have been made redundant broken down by month since the 27 November 2023. TEC did not seek voluntary redundancy. No staff who have been made redundant have been appointed to a new role (i.e. contractor, consultant, permanent, part-time) as of 5 June 2026.
