Funding overview
Maths PLD will be accessible between 20 January 2025 and the end of Term 4 2026.
The Ministry will finalise each school term’s PLD scheduling before the end of the previous term – PLD requests will need to be submitted by the end of week 5 of each term in order to request PLD dates in the following term.
If you have questions about the PLD or about a PLD request, please contact Maths.PLD@education.govt.nz
What it includes
Requests for PLD are submitted through the online request system.
A request can only be made for one maths PLD day at a time, but you can make “multiple requests” for the same day, for instance, a cluster of schools with 200 teachers might submit 10 separate requests for Day 1 PLD if they can only release 20 teachers at a time
The Ministry will endeavour to make facilitators available for schools’ first choice of days for this PLD.
Scheduling is subject to facilitator availability and the Ministry will contact schools to discuss alternative dates if needed.
