Answer

I am advised that the Ministry of Education does not separate spend by calendar year. As of 27 January 2026, the Ministry of Education has spent $1,568,702.24 on services provided by Learning First for the work underway to update the national curriculum. This covers the financial years 2024/25 and 2025/26 to date.
