15240 (2025). Hon Willow-Jean Prime to the Associate Minister of Education

15240 (2025). Hon Willow-Jean Prime to the Associate Minister of Education: Prior to October 2024, was the Minister aware that Ministry of Education’s views that Libelle and Compass “are falling short of the programmes expectations and will require increased monitoring going forward”; and if so, did the Minister raise any concerns about either of these companies being involved in the Ka Ora Ka Ako procurement process?

Hon David Seymour: It would be inappropriate for a Minister to insert themselves into approval processes the way the Member suggests.
