NCEA co-requisite standards 

The significant reform of NCEA is made up of seven key change areas. One of the areas seeks to:

• Strengthen literacy and numeracy requirements and assessments – ensure students with an NCEA have functional literacy and numeracy skills that will ready them to transition into tertiary education or the workplace.

New standards that assess foundational skills in literacy, numeracy, te reo matatini, and pāngarau are being introduced in 2024.

Steps to strengthen NCEA aim to support all learners to succeed in their next steps in learning, life, and work.
