52511 (2024). Hon Jan Tinetti to the Minister of Education: Does the Minister stand by her statement, quoting correspondence she received, that she should “be encouraged to dismiss the naysayers and press on”; if so, does she consider the principals of the Ōtaki-Kāpiti region to be naysayers?

Hon Erica Stanford: I stand by the correspondence that I have received from people on the ground in schools and classrooms who know that students will be well served by more explicit teaching, greater evidence-based learning, and a highly supportive and structured curricula.
