will be left behind as NCEA standards tightened
A planned tightening of the NCEA literacy and numeracy standards may see Māori and Pasifika students left behind, educators say.
The new standards will be implemented from 2023, and will include standardised tests to assess the skills of students, starting from year 10 and 11.
Carol Jarrett, the deputy principal of Aorere College in south Auckland’s Papatoetoe, said the new standards were being implemented due to New Zealand’s shocking literacy and numeracy rates.
