NZQA grants entitlement to Special Assessment Conditions (SAC) so that approved candidates may be fairly assessed and have access to assessment for National Qualifications. Special Assessment Conditions are approved so that entitled candidates can demonstrate their knowledge, skills and understanding, without providing unfair advantage over other candidates.
Applications are made by schools on the behalf of candidates. Entitlement for SAC is required for both internal and external NCEA assessments.
The following link will take you the NCEA link for Special Assessment Conditions. Here you will find important information for both schools, parents and caregivers.
RTLB Cluster 16 would like to support secondary schools and wharekura to put systems in place to identify students who may benefit from SAC and also to familiarise schools with the relevant assessments and processes for gaining SAC for their students.
For further information regarding Special Assessment Conditions in RTLB Cluster 16, please contact
RTLB Sue Taylor. To refer for support to make applications for SAC please complete the usual online request for support to our service.
