Hon Penny Simmonds: I refer the member to the list below of briefings I received from Education agencies during the week beginning 25 August 2025:
Ministry of Education

28 August 2025 - Tertiary Education Weekly Update 28 August 2025

Tertiary Education Commission
27 August 2025 - Implementation of Key Information for Students (KIS) on the Tahatū Career Navigator website.
This answer does not cover members of my office who receive a large amount of material every week. Asking them to collate that material would require substantial collation and research and prevent them from undertaking their substantive roles.
Please note one title has been withheld as they are either sensitive in nature or still under active consideration. It is not in the public interest to release them at this time.
