Free school meals have been provided to low-income students in New Zealand through the Ka Ora, Ka Ako programme since 2020. In 2023, the Sixth National Government Of New Zealand, a coalition of the conservative National Party, Act Party and New Zealand First Party, came to government, ushering in funding cuts to the program. The changes to the program faced numerous issues. The program faced additional controversy when the Prime Minister made a comment criticised as insensitive and lacking appreciation of the state of poverty in some parts of the country. On 1 March, the Prime Minister indicated that the program was experiencing "teething issues" but reiterating his confidence in the relevant Minister to address them. In October 2025, the Government dropped the programme's Māori name but retained its English name.
