Subject: [BULK] Official Information request - Teach NZ Expert Panel
Process for selecting scholarship winners

 

Dear Ministry of Education,

 

OIA Request/Privacy Act Request

 

My Teach NZ scholarship application was assessed by an external selection
panel comprised of experts who scored my application against six selection
factors.

 

One selection factor for my application was language Pronunciation. The
difference between scores needs to be justified. 

 

My reo Maori pronunciation is natural and shows who I am.

 

I've been involved with my whanau, hapu and tribe my entire life. I know
how to pronounce our language.

 

I find it unusual being scored on my own language by people who don't know
me or my lineage.

 

But most importantly, as an educationist, I'm concerned that pronunciation
is allocated 20 points while qualifications and communication are only
allocated 10 points each in a field by that is tasked with formally
educating children.

 

Request - wide divergence in scores

 

Why did one expert score my application 4/20 for my pronunciation of Maori
words while the other expert scored 16/20 for pronunciation of Maori
words? 

 

Yours faithfully,

 

S. Paurini
