The Prime Minister says the Government is heavily invested in education and knows it needs to step it up. \xa0

It's launching a three-month inquiry into school building projects that it says has expectations beyond the scope of delivery. \xa0

So far 20 projects have been put on hold, with up to 350 up in the air. \xa0

He told Mike Hosking that there may be further delays and re-scoping, but the review is necessary for the long-term. \xa0

Luxon says it could legitimately ask how they better manage projects and how to build competence.\xa0
