Please see this news item from 11 April 2024 for an update on regionally allocated PLD in 2024.

How to apply Me pēhea te tono

Applications for regionally-allocated PLD are made through the online PLD system. You will need an Education Sector Logon (ESL) to access it. Once you have have set up your ESL, your school or kura's delegated authoriser will need to give you access to the online PLD system. Only one user from each school or kura can create and edit an application.

The online PLD system replaces the previous PLD journal spreadsheet. If you have PLD that began before term 1 2020 and are using the PLD journal spreadsheet, continue to use it until you have completed your PLD journey and the final report is submitted.

Please send PLD journals to pld.journal@education.govt.nz and your regional offices for processing.

Ka riro i a koe te ESL, kia tuku te kaiwhakamana o tō kura i te āheinga uru ki a koe ki te pūnaha tuihono PLD. Kotahi anake te kaiwhakamahi nō ia kura ka whakaaetia ki te hanga, ki te whakahou hoki i tētahi tono.

Regionally-allocated PLD must align with one or more of the PLD priorities. Aligning with a PLD priority is one of the criteria for applications.

You can select more than one priority. Panels look at how well your request aligns with the chosen priorities and the needs identified in your region, rather than how many priorities you select.
