39402 (2025). Hon Willow-Jean Prime to the Minister of Education

39402 (2025). Hon Willow-Jean Prime to the Minister of Education: What communications, if any, has the Minister or and/or her office had with principals or teachers on teachers’ ability to handle both her proposed replacement of NCEA and the government’s curriculum changes; by title and date?

Hon Erica Stanford: Corrected reply: The Professional Advisory Group of Principals advised on the NCEA curriculum changes, staging, and implementation. The proposal is now out for consultation more broadly and I will consider the feedback received when making final decisions. I also regularly speak to teachers and principals as part of my job and the topic of NCEA has come up informally in a range of engagements.
