We originally communicated on 2 June 2021 that the Teacher Aide PLD pilot fund would close for applications on Friday 11 June 2021, 11:59pm.
Since this was communicated, we have received over 1000 applications. With this high volume of applications, the teacher aide PLD pilot fund is oversubscribed and will be fully allocated from the applications already submitted.
Therefore, we will be closing applications earlier that originally communicated at 5:00pm, Thursday 10 June 2021. Any application received after 5:00pm, Thursday 10 June 2021 will be declined due to lack of funds.
Applications that have already been submitted are in the process for review and we will contact you individually over the coming days to outline the next steps. If your application is in draft, we encourage you to submit it by the end of today.
Please contact to us at PLD.Enquiries@education.govt.nz if you would like to discuss further, as we understand that there will be teacher aides who were still seeking to apply for funding or have questions. We ask that you be patient with us as we have a high volume of emails and calls currently and will get in touch with you as soon as we can.
We regret that this is announced on short notice but we want to ensure that those seeking to apply for this fund have the most up to date information.
Since the fund opened in July 2020, over 2,800 teacher aides across the country have participated in professional learning and development through the fund.
