Kia ora Albert

 

Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act 1982 of 31
December 2021 seeking the following information:

 

            I would like to obtain details on the distribution of students
and their marks for certain scholarship papers - just some simple data on
how many students got each mark out of the paper total - eg.  for calculus
- how many students got 20 out of 40, 21 out of 40 and so on...

 

            I would like these details for the scholarship papers of
physics, calculus, statistics, english, chemistry and biology from 2019.

 

You can expect to receive a response to your request on or before 14
February 2022. 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.

 

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.
