Dear Thomas

 

Thank you for your email of 11 April, requesting under the Official
Information Act:

 

“Could you please present the total education spending on secondary

            school education in New Zealand over the last ten years.

    

              Could you also please present policies that have been
specifically

            designed to address education needs for Maori and Pacific
students

             during this time frame, with a special focus on the decile
one to

              three band.”

 

As it stands, your request to present policies over a ten year time frame
would be refused, as to compile this information would require substantial
collation and research.  The Ministry is happy to work with you to refine
your request in order to provide the specific information you are
interested in.

 

To help you refine your request I refer you to publicly available
information on education spending, available from the Education Counts
website:

In regards to current policies, information on strategies for Maori and
Pasifika is available at:

 

[2]http://www.minedu.govt.nz/NZEducation/Ed...

 

[3]http://www.minedu.govt.nz/theMinistry/Po...

 

I suggest you review this information, and get in touch with me to refine
your request. I am available by email at this address, or by phone on (04)
4638140.

 

Regards

 

Sean
