7387 (2026). Hon Willow-Jean Prime to the Minister of Education: What is the timeframe, if any, for the Education Review Office's review of Gloriavale's homeschooling system?

Hon Erica Stanford: I am advised that ERO conducted on-site reviews of 103 homeschooling exemptions issued for students who live in the Gloriavale community between 20 October and 14 November 2025. Draft judgements were provided to families for comment on 5 and 8 December 2025. Following consideration of those comments, final judgements and reports were provided to families and the Ministry of Education on 10 March 2026
