35113 (2025). Hon Damien O'Connor to the Minister of Education: What evidence or consultation, if any, did the Minister rely on when making the decision to disestablish the Resource Teachers of Literacy service in New Zealand schools, by title and date?

Hon Erica Stanford: Consultation on the Government’s proposal to reinvest funding made available for Resource Teachers: Literacy and Resource Teachers: Māori into other frontline support was undertaken from 28 February 2025 to 21 March 2025. All feedback received was carefully considered within the decision-making process. No decisions were made until the feedback received had been analysed and considered. The Ministry of Education also provided me with the following advice: • 28 March 2025: Resource Teachers: Literacy and Resource Teachers: Māori Consultation Feedback • 28 March 2025: Budget 25 Next Steps Following Resource Teachers: Literacy and Resource Teachers: Māori Consultation.
