Piloting the co-requisite
In 2021 we ran a small pilot of the new standards and assessments to build an initial understanding of how they work in practice.
Read more on the 2021 mini-pilot and evaluation
In 2022 more than 200 schools, kura, and tertiary providers participated in a pilot year for the new literacy and numeracy, te reo matatini and pāngarau standards.
Two assessment events took place during the 2022 pilot, using what is known as Common Assessment Activities. The first event was broken into two, one for Aotearoa New Zealand from 27 June to 1 July 2022 and one for Realm Countries from 11 July to 15 July 2022. The second assessment event was held during 19 September to 23 September 2022.

- allow the Ministry and NZQA to further refine the standards and assessments
- improve understanding of the support schools and kura require
- continue to develop resources and tools to support teaching and learning shifts.
The 2022 pilot was designed to
- allow the Ministry and NZQA to further refine the standards and assessments
- improve understanding of the support schools and kura require
- continue to develop resources and tools to support teaching and learning shifts.
Independent evaluation
Evaluation Associates carried out an independent external evaluation of the 2022 pilots.
The independent evaluation aimed to:
-
understand how the standards and assessments are performing and identify any opportunities for refinement and improvement
-
understand how pilot schools, kura, and organisations are building their capability and what is needed for implementation.
Evaluation Report One reflects findings from the first assessment activities in June/July 2022.
Evaluation Report Two is more detailed, with comparisons of all assessment activities in 2022 and uses survey information with ākonga, kaiako, and focus groups.
The report includes achievement data for each of the five pilot standards for the secondary school student cohort, and for different demographics within the cohort – gender, year-level, ethnicity, and socio-economic circumstances. Results are also presented specifically for four sub-groups within the pilot – English Language Learners (ELL), ākonga who used Special Assessment Conditions (SACs), students from Realm country schools and Tertiary students.
The report also includes psychometric analysis of the Common Assessment Activities carried out by the New Zealand Council for Educational Research (NZCER) that provides insights into statistical accuracy of the assessments.
