Matthew Hooton
[FYI request #16469 email]
Dear Mat hew
Thank you for your email of 22 August 2021 requesting the following information:
Please provide me with advice you have received from the Ministry of Education and/or your
other education agencies of the effects of first long Covid lockdown of 2020 on students in
state primary and secondary schools.
This includes (but is not limited to), the effects on their:
1)
mental health,
2)
general wellbeing,
3)
educational participation, and
4)
educational performance.
It also includes but is not limited to the social equity effects of the lockdown.
Please also advise
(i) what policy or operational decisions were made in the light of these findings, and
(ii) how you and your education agencies are applying the advice and lessons learned
from last year, and your subsequent decisions, to the current lockdown situation and
how this is being monitored.
I have considered your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act).
For the purpose of my response, I have interpreted the term “first long Covid lockdown of
2020” in your request to mean the period during which New Zealand initially traversed the four
alert levels:
Alert Level 4:  26 March 2020 to 27 April 2020 1231400
Alert Level 3:  28 April 2020 to 13 May 2020
Alert Level 2:  14 May 2020 to 8 June 2020
Alert Level 1:  9 June 2020
I recognise COVID-19 has had a significant impact on everyday life for all New Zealanders,
and we have had to adapt how we learn, work and connect. The Government acknowledges
the resilience of communities across the country during this time, and the strong support for
the tough decisions we have had to make to protect the health of our people.

The Government has worked hard since the initial nationwide lockdown to protect the health
and wellbeing of New Zealanders, including children and young people, and to provide support
where it is needed.
Throughout lockdowns and the shifts in Alert Levels over the past 18 months, the priority of
the education sector has been to ensure learners are safe and well, and that learning is as
continuous and normal as possible. The Ministry of Education has reflected on the range of
experiences schools and students had over this period, and wil  continue to work with the
sector to reflect on the lessons learnt  from school closures and distance learning. It is
considering how to incorporate what has worked well to improve the education sector’s
resilience.
The advice and findings provided to me and my Associate Ministers is broad and has been
provided in various ways, and through a range of documents. These have been organised into
two appendices. Appendix One presents an overview of how the Ministry has applied, or is
applying, the range of advice, findings, decisions and lessons learnt in relation to primary and
secondary schools in New Zealand.  Appendix  Two  provides  links to publicly available
documents representative of the material received to date.
Also, for your information, I include the two links below that wil  take you to pages setting out
information received and proactively published, either by the Ministry:
https:/ www.education.govt.nz/our-work/information-releases/advice-seen-by-our-ministers/
or in the response to COVID-19:
Proactive releases | Unite against COVID-19 (covid19.govt.nz)
Thank you again for your email. You have the right to ask an Ombudsman to review this
decision. You can do this by writing to [email address]  or Office of the
Ombudsman, PO Box 10152, Wellington 6143.

Yours sincerely

Chris Hipkins
Minister of Education

APPENDIX ONE:
SUMMARY
Advice, Decisions and Lessons learnt and their application
The following summary provides an overview of how the education sector has applied, or is
applying, advice, findings, decisions and lessons learnt in relation to primary and secondary
schools in New Zealand, as a consequence of COVID-19 lockdowns and the associated shifts
across alert levels.
Planning
After New Zealand came out of the initial nationwide lockdown, the desirability to be better
prepared for future events was front of mind. I note, a lot of work - including checklists for
primary and secondary schools to follow and resource packs - has helped, and wil  continue
to help, these schools get ready for future distance learning.
Delivering distance learning
The Ministry has not issued any guidance on how schools should deliver distance learning in
a COVID-19 environment. There is no one-size fits all approach to engaging students in
learning from home during this  challenging  time.  Schools  know  their  ākonga  best  and
understand how to help manage and support their distance learning. The Ministry provides a
range of supports to help schools to do this.
The most important message to get across for parents, carers, and whānau to hear and
understand is that they are not expected to replace teachers, who have specialised training
and experience to do what they do. The Ministry provides advice to help support continued
education, available on COVID-19 wellbeing guide | Learning from home
Teachers and school teams are pivotal in the development of tailored distance learning
programmes based on existing goals in the student’s Individual Education Plan (IEP) – as well
as in providing support to whānau to manage this at home. Schools can also continue to call
on Resource Teachers: Learning and Behaviour (RTLB) and other existing services for help
in supporting students’ learning from home.
Additionally, Ministry learning support staff are there to support schools and parents during
the lockdown period. Like teachers and other school support staff, learning support specialists
and Resource Teachers wil  be working differently, but their goal remains the same: to support
teaching staf  to connect students to the relevant curriculum by accommodating their learning
needs.
Ministry and school-based  specialist  staf   already  involved  with  children  and  whānau  wil
continue to check in with the child and whānau to provide virtual guidance and support as
necessary at this time. This wil  involve listening carefully and adapting support to meet current
needs. For instance, the Ministry’s specialists are doing “home visits” and assessments by
Skype, using videos to complete observations, carrying out “telepractice” sessions over the
phone, and helping families to use what they have available in their homes to support the
learning of their young people.
Device availability
This work is part of the Equitable Digital Access for Students (EDA4S) programme. It began
in 2016, and was greatly accelerated as a result of the closures of all schools and kura in
New Zealand during the initial nationwide lockdown in 2020.
Following the distribution of over 36,000 devices to learners in 2020, the Government has
provided funding for 7,000 additional devices to meet new demand in Years 9-13+ in priority
regions. New demand is caused by the arrival of new entrants to Year 9, as well as other
factors such as non-return or loss of devices and the movement of students.

APPENDIX ONE:
SUMMARY
Advice, Decisions and Lessons learnt and their application
Available resources
Resources are available at Supporting learning from home resources and Distance learning
support during an emergency event | Learning from home.
This includes:
•  Curriculum teaching and learning resources (with guidance for parents) (English-
medium and Māori-medium)
•  Home Learning TV - accessed through TVNZ On Demand Watch Home Learning TV
| Episodes | TVNZ OnDemand or via the TVNZ App on a device (mobile phone,
smart TV or tablet)
•  Mauri Reo, Mauri Ora - accessed on demand from Māori TV for primary-aged
tamariki and for secondary school rangatahi.
There is also support available through Awhi Ngā Mātua, a parent-led Facebook page for
parents of children with disabilities or high health needs. It has tools, resources and videos.
Network for Learning (N4L)
With more ākonga learning online, it is important for them to stay safe.
I am advised that the Ministry partnered with Network for Learning to give parents access to
a free safety filter to keep students safe online. The filter blocks the worst of the web, and can
be applied to learning devices by following the instructions at https://switchonsafety.co.nz/
Monitoring NCEA
Alongside the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA), the Ministry is working closely
with schools in monitoring the ability of students to undertake and be assessed in their courses
or subjects for the National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA)  and providing
support to schools as required.
I note NCEA’s flexibility is its strength. Schools can adapt how they deliver NCEA to reflect
their environment –  including distance learning where necessary. The resources and
information the Ministry and NZQA have previously provided to support assessment are stil
available.  I understand the Ministry is  also working with schools to determine what other
resources and information may be needed.
Consideration of changes to the NCEA qualification is led by NZQA and the Ministry, in
partnership with the Minister’s NCEA Professional Advisory Group and sector representatives.
Any changes to NCEA for all or part of New Zealand, or the timing of external assessment
(including examinations), wil  only be considered if necessary. While each shift across alert
level has an impact, the Ministry is confident that the range of options used in 2020 provides
a sound basis for any subsequent responses.

APPENDIX ONE:
SUMMARY
Advice, Decisions and Lessons learnt and their application
Encouraging attendance, following lockdowns
To aid schools and students in returning to normal attendance habits, the Ministry established
attendance data collections under COVID-19. Originally established as a daily data request,
the Ministry  then moved to a weekly collection of attendance data from school student
management systems. High level summaries of this information can be found at At endance
under COVID-19 | Education Counts
Getting children to attend school can be a challenge. The following publicly available research
has been undertaken by the Ministry concerning attendance and numbers leaving school:
He Whakaaro: How COVID-19 is affecting school attendance | Education Counts
He Whakaaro: Is COVID-19 making students leave school? | Education Counts
Attendance is the first step, engagement in learning is the real aim. Planning is underway of
some of the supports that might be collectively provided to the sector – in those areas that
need it – to re-engage young people in learning and to make up for any loss of learning.
Learning in Lockdown
The  Ministry  has also undertaken publicly available research  concerning  student learning
during COVID-19: He Whakaaro: Student learning during COVID-19: Literacy and maths in
Years 4-10 | Education Counts.
The Education Review Office’s (ERO) work on the impact of the 2020 lockdown on learning
has been published in a number of sources, which can be accessed from ERO’s website:
•  Learning in a Covid-19 World: The Impact of Covid-19 on Schools
•  Learning in a Covid-19 World: Supporting Secondary School Engagement
•  A guide to learning in a Covid-19 world - Supporting primary-aged students into 2021
•  A guide to learning in a Covid-19 world - Supporting secondary-aged students into
2021
•  A guide to learning in a Covid-19 world - Supporting parents into 2021
•  Te Kahu Whakahaumaru – Ngā mahi a te rangai mātauranga Māori (English)
•  Responding to the Covid-19 crisis: Supporting Auckland NCEA students
Findings suggested students reported high levels of wellbeing during the  lockdown.
Secondary school students, boys, and those without devices faced challenges in working from
home. The ERO found that primary students tended to have engaged in learning more than
secondary students
The New Zealand Council of Educational Research (NZCER) has recently released a report
entitled  Children’s informal learning at home during COVID-19 lockdown.  It  suggests that
lockdown was not disruptive or protracted enough to create long-term issues for children’s
formal learning at school. The report is available here:  Learning during lockdown | New
Zealand Council for Educational Research (nzcer.org.nz)
NZCER also undertook analysis of the wellbeing at school 2020 annual report data which was
sent to the Ministry. 
Operating Ka Ora, Ka Ako
With the movement down alert levels, lunches can be  delivered to schools  again.
Where suppliers could not reach their school or kura, the Ministry suggested catering for a
student attendance of ten percent. This reflects last year’s experience of operating Ka Ora,
Ka Ako under Alert Level 3.

APPENDIX ONE:
SUMMARY
Advice, Decisions and Lessons learnt and their application
As with anything, there are likely to be variations. If there are any surplus lunches, suppliers
need to check first with the local Civil Defence and Emergency Management Group to confirm
that surplus lunches can be redistributed safely through established networks.
Transfer from Ka Ora, Ka Ako to Ministry for Social Development (MSD)
Recently, the Government approved a transfer of $3.2 mil ion from Ka Ora, Ka Ako to the MSD
to support the work being undertaken with vulnerable families through the NZ Food Network
and/or food support work.
Other agency supports
The Ministry  is  also continuing discussions with MSD and across agencies about where
ongoing support may be needed.
