Trajectory across review cycles

Year-over-year change per dimension based on consecutive ERO reviews.

equity 70 → 70 (0)

Both reports identify equity as a priority and recognize disparities between student groups, but the 2022 report shows a shift from active progress on specific cohorts (81% of Māori students and 86% of boys achieving acceleration by Year 12/13 in 2018) to acknowledging a "known disparity" without evidence of similar outcome improvements. The 2018 report emphasized demonstrated acceleration progress, while 2022 emphasizes vision and processes without comparable achievement data.
