45502 (2025). Hon Jo Luxton to the Prime Minister: Does he stand by his statement that "the Ministry got that wrong” in reference to the proposed removal of Agricultural and Horticultural Science from the senior secondary subject list; if so, how does he reconcile that with the fact that curriculum changes require ministerial sign-off?

Rt Hon Christopher Luxon: Yes. The Minister of Education’s decision was based on the Ministry of Education’s advice, which was then revised.
