Answer

The information sought by the Member is not collated by the Ministry of Education and the Education Review Office in a way that is readily reportable in the timeframe available to respond to written parliamentary questions. I am advised that the New Zealand Qualifications Authority has not held any hui, conference, away day or staff event costing more than $10,000 since 27 November 2023. Information relating Education New Zealand’s hui, conferences and staff events since 27 November 2023 is listed below: Financial year 2023/25 o Conferences: $43,448 o Staff events: $39 Financial year 2024/25 o Conferences: $68,272 o Away-days: $10,560 o Staff events: $93 Financial year 2025/26 (year-to-date February 2026) o Conferences: $7,000 o Away-days: $19,614 o Staff events: $2,360.
