Supplementary payment to schools for dedicated co-requisite standards

Information about the supplementary payment to schools that delivered the dedicated co-requisite standards in 2025

We recognise the significant role schools and Principals’ Nominees play in administering the dedicated co-requisite standards for Literacy, Te Reo Matatini, Numeracy and Te P�ngarau.

Schools will receive a supplementary payment to help offset the costs of administering the dedicated co-requisite standards’ assessments in 2025.

Ðǿմ«Ã½ will distribute this payment on behalf of the Ministry of Education, alongside the usual Administration Payment.

Schools that reported results for dedicated co-requisite standards will each receive a base payment of $200, plus $5 per candidate (for each dedicated co-requisite standard with an assessed result, up to a maximum of $15).

The following criteria apply:

  • The payment will only be made for students assessed against the specific Literacy (US32403 and US32405), Te Reo Matatini (US32413 and US32415), Numeracy (US32406) and Te PÄ�ngarau (US32412) standards in 2024 (not for assessments against the list of )
  • The payment will be calculated based on the number of standards where there were assessed results, rather than the number of entries
  • If a student attempted multiple assessment opportunities for a standard, their school will receive a single payment for the student being assessed against that standard, and
  • Absent and Standard Not Assessed outcomes are not included as an assessed result.

Ðǿմ«Ã½ will calculate and distribute the supplementary payment to the school that managed the entries. We will also email Finance Managers a breakdown of how it will be calculated.
