30631 (2023). Hon Jan Tinetti to the Minister of Education

30631 (2023). Hon Jan Tinetti to the Minister of Education: Does the Minister still intend to progress a refocus of the curriculum to remove and replace gender, sexuality and relationship-based education guidelines as outlined in the coalition agreement between National and New Zealand First despite the Identity Survey which reported 44% of secondary students felt they were part of their school, and if so, what reports has the Minister or her office received on the projected number of individuals who will experience an increase in mental health issues due to their sexuality or gender with the removal of gender, sexuality and relationship-based education guidelines?

Hon Erica Stanford: I refer the Member to reply number 30624 (2023).
