68040 (2024). Hon Willow-Jean Prime to the Minister of Education: What are the names of the comparable courses that Ministry of Education officials compared Te Ahu o te Reo Māori to when estimating cost differentials?

Hon Erica Stanford: I have not been provided with names of comparable courses. High-level analysis indicates that Te Ahu o te Reo Māori has a significantly higher cost than similar programmes delivered through the tertiary system, approximately 2.3 times higher than similar courses offered in the tertiary sector. This information is in the Cabinet Paper Tackling Maths Achievement which has been proactively released here: https://assets.education.govt.nz/public/Documents/our-work/information-releases/Advice-Seen-by-our-Ministers/2024/September-2024/37-Plan-for-Tackling-Maths-Achievement_Redacted.pdf
