Erica Stanford: Education Minister on the new education system set to replace NCEA

The Education Minister says the new secondary school qualifications are achievable and aspirational. Yesterday, Erica Stanford announced senior students will need to pass three out of five subjects to achieve the new certificates.  The new system will be phased in from 2028 and reward students with endorsements for passing all five subjects.  Stanford explained that the first tranche of the curriculum has been sent out for consultation. "They're going to be dropping it in three tranches, just to not overwhelm the sector. I've got a group of principals who are keeping an eye on it - the curriculum advisory group."
