Single Data Return (SDR) manuals and appendices

The Single Data Return (SDR) is a set of data items that are specifically required by the Ministry of Education and the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) for funding, monitoring performance against Investment Plans, publishing performance information, as well as statistical reporting purposes.

All TEOs that receive the Student Achievement Component and/or have students with Student Loans or Allowances are required to complete an SDR.

The main benefit of the SDR is that it provides one central point for the collection, processing and delivery of information from TEOs to education agencies.
