48986 (2025). Francisco Hernandez to the Minister for Vocational Education: When, if ever, will decisions be publicly communicated on the $20 million in funding that the Government has set aside for Te Pūkenga to continue strategically important vocational education?

Hon Penny Simmonds: I have no current plans to publicly announce the funding amounts allocated per TEO. On Thursday 2 October, the TEC published information about the fund on their website - SIP fund finder and SIP delegation.
