38906 (2024). Dr Lawrence Xu-Nan to the Minister of Education: How many, if any, of the homeschooling whānau as at 18 June 2024 who had not returned a Statutory Declaration for the 2023/2 period (July 1st - December 31st) have since been contacted?

Hon Erica Stanford: I am advised by the Ministry of Education that as at 18 June 2024, there has been no contact made with home education whānau who had not returned their Statutory Declaration for the period from July 1 2023 to 31 December 2023. Under the Education and Training Act 2020 section 38, whānau who hold a current exemption to home educate their child/ren have no legal obligation to return the Statutory Declaration to the Ministry. This is also my response to written parliamentary question 38907 (2024).
