40545 (2026). Dr Lawrence Xu-Nan to the Minister of Education: Did the Minister find it acceptable that in PISA 2022, which was published in December 2023, that only 68% of New Zealand students felt that they belong at school; and, if not, what did she do to address this and, following the release of PISA 2025, did students' sense of belonging improve?
