The surveys closed on 13 August 2021.

The proposed changes support the Government’s promise to deliver opportunities for greater specialisation and deeper learning at Levels 2 and 3 and a more foundational learning experience at NCEA Level 1, and are part of a shift to Mana ōrite mō te mātauranga Māori (parity for Māori knowledge) in NCEA.

The Ministry will made recommendations to the Government on final decisions on the subjects. Where it is agreed that subjects will proceed, further work will be done to confirm the timeline for each subject.
