5012 (2026). Hon Willow-Jean Prime to the Minister of Education: When, if at all, will the Teaching Council review document quoted in the media article titled 'Review finds Teaching Council's penalties too light, incompetent teachers going under radar' of 12 February 2026 be released into the public realm?

Hon Erica Stanford: This is a question 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.
