Survey of Special Education Resourcing

Project Director: Dr Nola Purdie

ACER has been subcontracted by Cognition Consulting to work with them on a New Zealand Ministry of Education project concerning the resourcing of special education students. The project will provide information about the range of resourcing that children with special education needs actually receive, as well as information about how individual and school targeted funding is deployed at the local level. Findings of the project will assist the Ministry to resolve questions about the equitable distribution of resources across the country.
