20544 (2026). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister for Tertiary Education: How many people enrolled and completed their first year of a Bachelor of Nursing programme in 2025, and how many have continued into their second year of the degree in 2026?

Hon Penny Simmonds: I am advised that Tertiary Education Commission does not hold information on what courses are required in each year of a qualification and therefore cannot identify learners who have completed first year requirements and progressed to the second year of a qualification.
