Question

  • Who decided to commission the review into the Teaching Council that Debbie Francis undertook and on what date was the decision made?

Answered by

Hon Erica Stanford

Member for East Coast Bays · National Party · Minister of Education

Answer

The Teaching Council did not advise me of who commissioned the review into the Teaching Council because this is an operational matter for the Teaching Council, who is responsible for this publication. The Teaching Council is an independent statutory entity and is accountable to the Chief Executive and Board, not the Minister of Education.
