40546 (2026). Dr Lawrence Xu-Nan to the Minister of Education: Does the Minister find it acceptable that in PISA 2025 New Zealand was lowest among 36 other OECD nations on the index of students' sense of belonging; and, if not, what, if anything, is the Government doing now to address New Zealand students' low sense of belonging?
