6717 (2026). Francisco Hernandez to the Associate Minister of Education: How many vacancies, if any, were there in the Minister’s departments, agencies, crown entities and any other bodies that the Minister is responsible for, if any, as of 1 January 2026?

Hon David Seymour: I am advised that the Charter Schools Agency defines “vacancies” as positions—whether occupied or unoccupied—that are under active recruitment. As at 31 December 2025, the closest reporting point to 1 January 2026, there were no roles under active recruitment at the Agency.
