29797 (2026). Hon Ginny Andersen to the Minister of Education: What was the purpose of Ministry of Education officials' travel to Australia across July and August 2025 and what work did they do with Learning First?

Hon Erica Stanford: I am advised that three members of the Ministry of Education’s specialist curriculum writing team travelled to Melbourne (one staff member in July 2025, and two staff members in August 2025) to work with Ben Jensen and his Learning First team on international benchmarking and levelling existing curriculum content.
