121 In May 2014 the Taskforce on Regulations Affecting School Performance reported to the Minister on how improved legislation and regulation could contribute to the goal of raising the achievement of all students. The Taskforce considered that the Education Act 1989 was out of date, did not reflect current practice and is no longer fit for purpose. The Ministry of Education is now reviewing the Education Act and in late 2015 undertook public consultation on the future of the Act. Participants were specifically asked to comment on what the goals for education should be; how resources can be better focused to achieve whole-of community education outcomes; how local arrangements can support choice and diversity; and how school boards can respond more effectively to lift student performance. 122 The Review of the Education Act presents an opportunity to clearly embed the right to education for all New Zealanders in the regulatory framework. 123 The Commission recommends that the Committee urges the Government to:      report back to the Committee within 18 months on progress made against the targets in Ka Hikitea and the Pasifika Education Plan; ensure that the Special Education Update Action Plan is based on the principle of inclusive education; ensure all aspects of the right to education are adequately protected in any new Education Act and corresponding regulations; codify an enforceable right to an inclusive education; and provide data - disaggregated by gender, disability ethnicity and family status – on educational outcomes for children who are materially deprived, and report back to the Committee on this within 18 months.
