Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic we’re sorry to announce that this year's 2020 Awards have been cancelled, and will resume in 2021.
Please see below for more details.
Nā runga i te pānga mai o te urutā COVID-19, kua whakakorengia Ngā Tohu 2020, ā, hei te tau 2021 ka tū anō.

2020 Awards Cancelled
Kua Whakakorengia Ngā Tohu 2020
The 2020 Prime Minister's Education Excellence Awards have been cancelled as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
We recognise that schools, kura and early learning services will be focused on supporting their learners as they transition back to their schooling routines post-lockdown. We believe that cancelling the Awards this year will allow them more time to prepare their entries for next year.
The 2020 Awards have been cancelled for a number of other reasons related to Covid-19:
- The Alert Level 4 lockdown was announced during the entry period of the Awards, and schools, kura and early learning services were engaged with more immediate concerns than entering the Awards.
- Our independent judging panel of education experts volunteer their time, and their participation is reliant on them being aware of the schedule well in advance to ensure they can devote enough time to fully participate.
- The timeline was altered to such a degree that we can unfortunately no longer run the Awards due to time and availability constraints e.g. the availability of the Judging Panel.
We thank those who submitted an entry for 2020 and acknowledge the hard work that was put into creating those entries.
We look forward to relaunching the Awards in 2021, when we can continue to share and celebrate the inspiring work that schools, kura and early learning services are doing for learners, whānau and their communities in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Kua whakakorengia Ngā Tohu Kairangi Mātauranga a te Pirimia 2020 nā te pānga mai o te urutā COVID-19.
Kei te mōhio mātou e aro nui ana ngā kura me ngā ratonga ako kōhungahunga ki ā rātou ākonga tonu e hokihoki ana ki ā rātou mahi kura i muri mai i te rāhui nui. E pono ana mātou nā te whakakoretanga o Ngā Tohu o tēnei tau ka whai wā rātou ki te whakarite kaupapa mō te tono ā tērā tau.
Kua whakakorengia Ngā Tohu 2020 i runga i te pānga mai o te urutā Covid-19 me ngā take e pā ana.
- I pānuitia ai te Taumata 4 Kia Mataara i te wā o te tuku tono mō Ngā Tohu, ā, i runga i tērā ka huri kē te titiro a ngā kura me ngā ratonga ako kōhungahunga ki ngā raru me ngā take nui atu i tērā o te tuku tono mō Ngā Tohu.
- He mahi ā-ngākau tā ngā tāngata o te paepae kaiwhakawā me te paepae tohunga mātauranga, me te aha me mātua mōhio rātou ki te wātaka me ngā hiahia o tēnei māhi i mua noa atu kia āhei ai tā rātou whakarite wā e whai wāhi atu rātou ki ngā wāhanga katoa o te mahi nei.
- Kua rerekē noa atu te wātaka i tērā i whakaritea, nā reira i kore ai e taea Ngā Tohu te whakahaere tika nā te korenga o ētahi i wātea, pērā i ngā tāngata o te Paepae Whakawā.
Kei te mihi tonu mātou ki te hunga nā rātou i tuku tono mai me te nui o te mahi hei whakatutuki i aua tono.
Ka tāria te wā e whakarewatia anōtia Ngā Tohu o 2021, kia āhei ai te tuari anō, te whakanui anō i ngā mahi hirahira a ngā kura me ngā ratonga ako kōhungahunga mā ngā ākonga, ngā whānau me ā rātou hapori i Aotearoa.
Mēnā he pātai āu, whakapā mai ki a mātou.
