NCEA NEWS
The Government has now confirmed the final NCEA change package which will strengthen our national qualification; address over-assessment and fragmented learning; promote culturally responsive teaching and learning; and improve accessibility, the support available to teachers, and the information available to students and whānau.
Work has already begun to progress the changes. Subject expert groups comprised of practising teachers and experts from diverse education settings have been established for current subjects. These groups will be developing the new achievement standards and resources that underpin NCEA. In doing so, they will help us to shape the future of our school-leaving qualification, so that it works for all New Zealanders.
We are also asking all New Zealanders for feedback on a provisional subject list which will support Level 1 to become a broader, foundational qualification that allows students to keep their pathway options open, while Levels 2 and 3 promote opportunities for greater specialisation.
Please have your say on the provisional subject list by 20 April 2020 consultation.education.govt.nz/ncea/ras-provisional-subject-list.
