Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act 1982 of 14 January 2020 seeking the following information:

Please Provide details about the total costs of running NCEA Level 1, 2, 3, and Scholarship External Exams in 2019, including preparation of standards, Copyright licencing, Printing, Staff and Examiners cost, and cost of teachers marking.

You can expect to receive a response to your request on or before 13 February 2020. You will be contacted again if there is a likelihood that this timeframe cannot be met.

As you may know requests for official information become official information once received. As part of the processing of requests for official information, NZQA may need to consult with relevant third parties. During the consultation, a third party may ask for the identity of the individual/organisation requesting the information. If you are an individual making a request, please advise us whether or not you would have an objection to disclosing your identity if a third party asks for your identity, and the reasons for your objection.
If you are an individual making a request on behalf of an organisation please advise us both whether you personally have an objection to disclosing your identity, and the reasons for your objection, as well as any objection to identifying the organisation, together with reasons. NZQA will consider your reasons and whether they fit with any withholding grounds under the Privacy Act 1993 or the Official Information Act 1982.

For any enquiries about your request please contact [email address].

If you are dissatisfied with our response, you have the right, under section 28(3) of the Official Information Act 1982, to lodge a complaint with the Office of the Ombudsman at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz.
