41262 (2026). Hon Ginny Andersen to the Minister of Education: Did the Ministry estimate how her proposed qualification changes might affect student achievement using current NCEA achievement data and predictions about how students, schools and teachers might respond to the new qualification requirements; if so, did the Ministry estimate that the proposed changes would lower enrolment numbers for students aged older than sixteen?
