so schools can prioritise maths and literacy
The government will give schools a temporary alternative to new online literacy and numeracy tests that many teenagers have found too hard.
It is also deferring major NCEA changes so schools can concentrate on maths, reading and writing.
Education Minister Jan Tinetti announced this afternoon that in 2024 and 2025 schools could use regular NCEA standards instead of the online tests to prove students met minimum reading, writing and maths requirements.
From next year, students must pass either the online tests or the assessment standards in order to gain any level of the NCEA qualification.
