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. I refer the Member to the attached table for all independent reviews, evaluations, or inquiries commissioned the New Zealand Qualifications Authority since 27 November 2023. I am advised that Education New Zealand has commissioned the following independent functional review since 27 November 2023: • Reviewer: Parkvale Consulting • Date commissioned: 13 June 2024 • Total cost: $25,461 I am advised that the Education Review Office (ERO) has not externally commissioned any independent reviews, evaluation, or inquiries over the time period. ERO does undertake national reviews as part of its normal operations. All reviews completed over this period can be found on their website at https://www.evidence.ero.govt.nz/.
