Dear Kieran
Thank you for your email of 21 April 2020 requesting the following information under the
Official Information Act 1982:
•
Any survey response data (including verbatim comments), received from the survey
which was called "Review of Achievement Standards (RAS) - Pilot Phase: Science". I
am specifically requesting the raw survey response data in full, subject to any relevant
redactions for privacy reasons.
•
Any analyses conducted, or reports, advice or summaries written up to and including
the date this request is received, from responses to the survey which was called
"Review of Achievement Standards (RAS) – Pilot Phase: Science". As an example
from a previous consultation process of the nature of information I am requesting, I
refer you to the documents produced by the Ministry relating to the Tomorrow's
Schools Review Survey, namely the documents entitled "Tomorrow’s Schools Review
Quick Survey Detailed Analysis", "Tomorrow’s Schools Review Detailed Survey
Report", and "The Tomorrow’s Schools Review 2019 Survey Report".
•
Any submission data (including verbatim comments) and analyses thereof relating to
formal submissions received by the Ministry relating to the feedback process for the
Review of Achievement Standards pilot phase for Science. This should include raw
submissions, subject to any appropriate redactions. As an example of the nature of the
information I am requesting, I refer you to the documents produced by the Ministry
relating to submissions received during the Tomorrow's School's Review process,
namely "METIS 1071138 - Summary and Analysis of Submissions - Tomorrow's
Schools Review 2018" and "Tomorrow's Schools Review - summary of submissions at

•
Any reports or advice written up to and including the date this request is received

information I am requesting, I refer you to the document produced by the Ministry
relating to the Tomorrow's Schools Review Survey, entitled "Summary of Submissions
Report: Based on the Tomorrow’s Schools Independent Taskforce Interim Report".
The Ministry needs to extend the timeframe of our response to your request, pursuant to
section 15A(1)(b) of the Act, as consultations necessary to make a decision on the request
are such that a proper response to the request cannot reasonably be made within the original
time limit. For this reason, you can expect to receive a response to your request by 4 June
2020.
