We recognise the significant role schools and Principals’ Nominees play in administering the dedicated co-requisite standards for Literacy, Te Reo Matatini, Numeracy and Te Pāngarau.
Schools will receive a supplementary payment to help offset the costs of administering the dedicated co-requisite standards’ assessments in 2025.
NZQA will distribute this payment on behalf of the Ministry of Education, alongside the usual Administration Payment.
Schools that reported results for dedicated co-requisite standards will each receive a base payment of $200, plus $5 per candidate (for each dedicated co-requisite standard with an assessed result, up to a maximum of $15).
The following criteria apply:
- The payment will only be made for students assessed against the specific Literacy (US32403 and US32405), Te Reo Matatini (US32413 and US32415), Numeracy (US32406) and Te Pāngarau (US32412) standards in 2024 (not for assessments against the list of approved additional standards (external link))
- The payment will be calculated based on the number of standards where there were assessed results, rather than the number of entries
- If a student attempted multiple assessment opportunities for a standard, their school will receive a single payment for the student being assessed against that standard, and
- Absent and Standard Not Assessed outcomes are not included as an assessed result.
NZQA will calculate and distribute the supplementary payment to the school that managed the entries. We will also email Finance Managers a breakdown of how it will be calculated.
