Important points to note for your December 2022 SDR
Workforce Questionnaire
- Please upload your 2022 Workforce Questionnaire to STEO before submitting your December 2022 SDR.
- This needs to be uploaded first to ensure your December 2022 SDR is accepted.
- You may also need to source this information from a different person or team in your organisation prior to the Christmas break, so this does not hold up your January submission.
For more information about workforce questionnaires please refer to the Ministry of Educations website and the Guide to Completing Your Workforce Questionnaire.
Fees Free
Please ensure all learners reported in your monthly ‘Fees Free All Enrolments and Costs Actuals’ are included in your December 2022 SDR. Enrolment information should match between the two returns.
SDR Manual update
The latest 2022 changes are described in the 2023 SDR manual (V2.0) see page 7.
