Dear Minister of Education,

In the Budget this year, the government planned to increase school class sizes as a cost-cutting measure to fund (among other things0 performance pay for teachers. I would like to request the following information under the Official Information Act 1982:

On behalf of Hon Hekia Parata thank you for your email.  Your
correspondence has been noted and will be recorded.

 

All correspondence, including email,  is routed through our mail tracking
process.  Although e-mail increases the speed of delivery, the
“behind-the-scenes” efforts of the Minister’s staff in responding to
mail cannot always provide the kind of speedy response users of email may
anticipate.

 

While the Minister considers all correspondence to be important, if it is
obvious that you are writing only to express a personal view your opinion
will be noted but a response beyond this acknowledgement may not be sent.

 

If you are inviting the Minister to attend an event you are organising,
our office will be in touch shortly.

 

Kind regards

 

 

Office of Hon Hekia Parata, MP

Minister of Education | Minister of Pacific Island Affairs | National List
