66475 (2024). Hon Jan Tinetti to the Minister of Education: Why was Michael Johnston chosen to lead the MAG over the person recommended by the Ministry?

Hon Erica Stanford: Prior to the MAG being established, the Ministry recommended a number of potential members, including one to be considered for the role of chair. The MAG was then established, and through the process, the person suggested for consideration for the chair was not selected for group membership. The member may be interested to note that Dr Michael Johnston was one of the people recommended by the Ministry for the oversight group within the MAG.
