Thank you for your email of 30 September 2021 to the Ministry of Education requesting the 
following information:  
 
[Since the last general election but including any documentation or work from before 
the election that has remained relevant.] 
 
1.  a list of EdTech advisors partners, stakeholders, and participating education 
providers or groups; 
2.  any planning, strategy, or discussion documents relating to the implementation of 
EdTech initiatives, and note how they relate to initiatives at other ministries or 
institutions; 
3.  and note any relevant procurement contracts that have been awarded or are being 
prepared for tender. 
 
Your request has been considered under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act).  
 
The Ministry needs to extend the timeframe of our response to your request, pursuant to 
section 15A(1)(b) of the Act, as consultations necessary to make a decision on the request 
are such that a proper response to the request cannot reasonably be made within the original 
time limit. For these reasons, you can expect to receive a response to your request by 26 
November 2021. I am hopeful that we will be able to respond to you before this date. 
 
Please be advised that should you have any concerns regarding this extension you have the 
right to ask an Ombudsman to investigate our decision to extend the timeframe. You can do 
this by writing to [email address] or Office of the Ombudsman, PO Box 
10152, Wellington 6143.
