Subject: Official Information request - The school level outcome data for
the Common Assessment Activities associated with the NCEA Literacy and
Numeracy Co requisite standards for the 2024 and 2025 calendar years

Dear Ministry of Education,

 

Please provide the school-level outcome data for the Common Assessment
Activities associated with the NCEA Literacy and Numeracy Co requisite
standards for the 2024 and 2025 calendar years. I am requesting this in
spreadsheet or machine readable form. I am not seeking names of individual
students or any personal identifying information and accept standard
statistical suppression where necessary to manage re identification risk.

 

If you do not release this, then provide the suppression rules, cohort
thresholds, statistical tests and privacy criteria used to determine
whether school level Common Assessment Activity data for the NCEA Literacy
and Numeracy Co requisite standards can be released publicly, including
any methodology documents or policy settings that guide these decisions.
Please ensure that this is in Plain English.

 

Further more, if you decline to release this, please provide all policy
papers, internal briefings, emails containing final advice, and decision
records created since 1 January 2023 that relate to the public release or
non release of school level Common Assessment Activity data for the NCEA
Literacy and Numeracy Co requisite standards. This includes any advice
provided to Ministers or senior officials. Please ensure that this is in
Plain English

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Sam Cummins
