All parents want their children to leave school confident and ready for their future.
That’s what NCEA is meant to do, but right now, it’s not doing that well enough.
We are proposing to replace NCEA with new national qualifications that ensure young people have the knowledge and skills they need to succeed.
We want to make it clearer, more consistent, and more useful for every child.
Our proposal includes getting students in Year 11 to take English and Mathematics and sit a Foundational Skills Award (test).
At Years 12, and 13 we will be replacing NCEA with a National Certificate of Education (Advanced at Year 13), which will have grades from A to E, and include internal and external exams.
Every student deserves the chance to succeed and to gain a qualification that is highly regarded both here in New Zealand and around the world.
We’re making sure that every student, regardless of background, has that chance.
