77029 (2024). Hon Jan Tinetti to the Minister of Education: Does the Minister agree with David Seymour that students are being “pulled out of maths and english and science to do a language [te reo] that only a few hundred thousand people in the world actually speak”, if so, how many students were pulled out of maths classes in favour of compulsory te reo classes in 2023?

Hon Erica Stanford: I refer the Member to my response to written parliamentary question 77022 (2024).
