A big thank you to all of you who have already completed a response to the consultation materials. Over 1000 people have registered on the Research New Zealand website. If you still need to do this, the link is: https://surveys.researchnz.com/NCEA/Registration.
Extension for Closing date
The Ministry has had requests to extend the closing date for the consultation. The responses to the consultation will be analysed and collated by Research New Zealand and the deadline for their report is 31 July, to feed in to standards writing group meetings in the week of 3 August. To complete this, Research New Zealand need to extract the data on Monday 6th July. The website will remain open until midnight on Sunday 5th July. An exception will be made for responses to the Technology standards, because the consultation materials were released later than the other subjects. Feedback to the Technology standards will be accepted up to midnight on Wednesday 8th July.
