Subject: Official Information request - Number of History/English Scholars by Mark 2024

Dear New Zealand Qualifications Authority,

Kia ora, I previously made the following request:

Could you please provide the distribution/count of students who received a minimum of each score for the following scholarships for 2024: History & English.

To clarify, this would be (for example) the number of students who received a minimum of 14/24 marks on both Scholarship History & English (except this would be for every mark, so 15/24, 16/24, etc).

Furthermore, if possible, I would like the distribution of these students to be sorted by their school year at the time of sitting said scholarship exams, e.g., Year 13, Year 12, Year 11, etc.

However, there seems to be a slight miscommunication. I was referring to students who have achieved said mark on both of these papers, e.g., they received a 13/24 for English and for History. Hence, this would show the people who have passed both English and History.

Therefore, it would be appreciated if you could possibly provide this information.

Finally, would you be able to provide the information you provided for my previous request (the one quoted at the beginning of this request), except for prior years (e.g., 2022, 2023).

Yours faithfully,

Kyle Bennett

Kia ora Kyle

 

Thank you for your follow up request under the Official Information Act
1982 of 27 June 2025 seeking the following information:

 

Could you please provide the distribution/count of students who received a
minimum of each score for the following scholarships for 2024: History &
English.

 

To clarify, this would be (for example) the number of students who
received a minimum of 14/24 marks on both Scholarship History & English
(except this would be for every mark, so 15/24, 16/24, etc).

 

Furthermore, if possible, I would like the distribution of these students
to be sorted by their school year at the time of sitting said scholarship
exams, e.g., Year 13, Year 12, Year 11, etc.

 

However, there seems to be a slight miscommunication. I was referring to
students who have achieved said mark on both of these papers, e.g., they
received a 13/24 for English and for History. Hence, this would show the
people who have passed both English and History.

 

Therefore, it would be appreciated if you could possibly provide this
information.

 

Finally, would you be able to provide the information you provided for my
previous request (the one quoted at the beginning of this request), except
for prior years (e.g., 2022, 2023).

        

 

You can expect to receive a response to your request on or before 25 July
2025. 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 2020 or the Official Information Act 1982.

 

Requests from an organisation for information about the organisation will
be processed under Part 4 of the Official Information Act.

 

Please note that it is our policy to proactively release where possible. 
We will let you know when we respond, if we intend to publish it. Your
name and contact details will be removed before publication.  Please
contact us if you have any questions about that.

 

In some circumstances after scoping a request, NZQA may decide to charge
for making the requested information available. If this is the case, we
will write to you again with details and seek confirmation you wanted to
proceed on that basis.

 

For any enquiries about your request, please contact
[1][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 [2]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz. You
can also telephone 0800 802 502 or write to the Ombudsman at PO Box 10152,
Wellington, 6143.
