Managing National Assessment (MNA) report

Report process

The school’s NZQA School Relationship Manager writes a report after the Managing National Assessment visit.

After an NZQA internal review, the report is sent to the school’s Principal and Principal’s Nominee within 6 weeks of the visit. The school has 2 weeks to clarify any issues of accuracy or misunderstanding.

If the school indicates the report is factually inaccurate or that it comments on matters outside its mandate, NZQA considers the comments and may amend the report.

A copy of the final report is then sent to the Chair of the Board of Trustees and is published on this website. To find an MNA report for a school, visit the Find Education Organisations page.
