No, not at all. matched

I don't think there is an excuse. matched

What we've seen is actually more robust assessments of young people in order to be able to assess their knowledge. matched

So, yeah, it's a great way in terms of supporting young people and making sure that they can perform the best that they possibly can when they need to. matched

I don't know those exact numbers, Mike. matched

However, it starts all the way through in terms of not only from NZQA's perspective, but from a school perspective around year 9 and 10 as well, around how we... matched

You start to train and encourage young people to use those assessment conditions that they need to perform the best that they can. matched

No, not at all. matched

It is definitely year by year and making sure that things are appropriate and nationally sound in terms of making sure that there is coherence and considerations across the country. matched

But how do you deal with the difference? matched

Yeah, that is difficult to measure and we, as schools, we rely on the professionals to give us that information and there's obviously processes that we have to adhere to from an NZQA perspective and there's set criteria and things as well. matched

Not all students who apply for it get their special assessment requests. matched

So it is quite a robust process and many of our young people have years of reports and things that they feed into to receive those assessment conditions. matched

Yeah, that's a significant increase, isn't it? matched

And, you know, you could easily look at the pandemic and that, but that's inexcusable. matched

What I think that that is related to is actually schools and the systems are becoming more aware, as well as parents and students themselves, more aware of the potential of learning needs to be able to perform in those high pressure assessment conditions. matched

So the technology is getting better. matched

The assessments in terms of medical diagnosis and testing matched

referrals from professionals and health professionals are becoming more prevalent and in a good way as well. matched
