in NCEA pilot
Nearly two-thirds of students failed the writing standard in the latest NCEA literacy and numeracy pilot, according to results released on Friday morning.
The highest pass rate was the reading standard, with 64% of students scoring an achieved or higher.
That was followed by numeracy at 56%, writing at 34%, Te Reo Matatini (Māori language literacy) at 24% and Pāngarau (Māori language numeracy) at just 18%.
Those pass rates were even lower than the results in 2021, which sparked “concern” among educators.
The government quietly released the literacy and numeracy result on the NCEA education website before a long weekend, with no accompanying press release.
