In my last post, I explained that the Freedom of Information (FOI) Commissioner had advised the Department of Education that they had 28 days from March 19 2025 to release the LANTITE reports that I had requested access to.
On April 17, the Department’s FOI team released the reports to me via email. These are available on the Department’s FOI Disclosure Log.
As soon I received them, I requested that all remaining LANTITE techincal and administrative reports be released. With relatively little further correspondence, a total of 42 reports covering all LANTITE Test Windows from May 2016 to February 2025 were released to me in August this year and made publicly available in three PDFs here, here and here. I posted news about this on LinkedIn at the time but not here (I was in the process of finishing off my doctoral thesis).
I think this is a big win for transparency and will facilitate a deeper understanding of LANTITE on technical and administrative levels. Now that I’m coming to the end of my PhD, I will begin to read these reports myself and post some of my analysis here. I’m looking forward to seeing other people analyse them and share their insights.
