Over 100 new classroom builds in New Zealand are in doubt due to rising costs and reprioritization of funds. The Education Ministry has paused major projects at 20 primary schools and colleges, affecting 63 rooms in Auckland and 52 elsewhere. Education Minister Erica Stanford attributed the issue to a pattern of raised expectations and inadequate communication between the ministry and schools. The pause in projects has caused frustration among school officials, with concerns raised about the safety of existing buildings. The ministry has to inform Stanford about how it plans to make budget savings by next Friday.
