There is No Budget for the Scrapping of NCEA

In a debate in the House last evening (10 September) about the education estimates in Budget ’25, Lawrence Xu Nan pointed out that it doesn’t provide anything for the scrapping of NCEA. He asked how much Stanford is intending to budget or add to a supplementary budget for that work to be done.

Stanford stated she could not answer that question because that work is not in the Budget. And then she confirmed: “nothing has been budgeted for”. (3:43 timestamp/17:43pm)

The Opposition found this difficult to understand. Willow-Jean Prime stood and detailed the kind of work required for the scrapping and replacement to be successful, ending: “Surely the Minister and Ministry have done some thinking about this”.

Short answer: no, they haven’t.
