RS20 Annual Return

Important!

Note that this collection is no longer required as it is superseded by the UIP (Unfunded International Providers) collection.

The RS20 is an annual census that gives a snapshot of enrolment demographics and data on the Learners and Staff at private training establishments.

The data submitted in the RS20 relates to the week that contains July 31st and must be submitted within three weeks.  Please check the STEO website for this year’s deadline.

Do we have to submit the RS20?

You should complete the RS20 statistical return if your organisation:

  • Is registered with the NZQA as a Private Training Establishment,
  • Is an active Private Training Establishment during the week of 31 July, and
  • Does not receive Student Component (EFTS based) funding

To complete the RS20 Electronic Return you need to have an ESAA account with the STEO RS20 Role

  • If you require a new password, or wish to check that you have the STEO RS20 Role on your ESAA account, please contact the Sector Service Desk on 0800 422 599 or moe.contactcentre@minedu.govt.nz [no spam].
