What is Literacy about?
Literacy is a foundational skill that enables access to further learning, develops important life skills, and allows people to fully engage in work and in their communities.
Everyone has a role to play in developing NCEA literacy, including school leaders, kaiako, whānau and ākonga.
Strong foundational reading and writing skills increase ākonga engagement and:
- improve work and career outcomes;
- enable broader contribution in communities; and
- lead to better health outcomes.
About NCEA Literacy
NCEA Literacy supports ākonga to develop a level of literacy knowledge and skills to engage successfully with all the learning areas of the New Zealand Curriculum, as well as learning in non-school settings. NCEA Literacy covers foundational literacy. This is approximately Level 4/5 of the New Zealand Curriculum, whereby a student has full control over level 4 and is ready to work at Level 5.
From 2024, to gain an NCEA qualification, ākonga must pass either a Te Reo Matatini standard or these two Literacy standards:
- US32403: Read written texts to understand ideas and information
- US32405: Write texts to communicate ideas and information. The Literacy standards require ākonga to demonstrate the following skills:
