We proactively release material that the Minister of Education has seen from us as part of our ongoing commitment to openness and transparency.
The Minister of Education need to take time to consider ERO’s advice alongside broader happenings across the education sector. For this reason, decision-making processes may sometimes take longer than expected. Material delivered to the Minister may relate to items that remain under active consideration and may take longer to be proactively released.
Briefings will be released at the first possible opportunity.
