Answer

The information sought by the Member is not collated by the Ministry of Education in a way that is readily reportable in the timeframe available to respond to written parliamentary questions. It would not be in the public interest to divert staff from their cores roles to undertake the research and collation required. Education New Zealand, the Education Review Office and the New Zealand Qualifications Authority has had no recorded instances of sexual harassment from 2015 to 2025.
