Overview

Changes are happening to the New Zealand Curriculum and Te Marautanga o Aotearoa. This may lead to questions about the implications for the NCEA Co-requisite. The resources in this section will support schools and kura with their understanding of literacy, numeracy, te reo matatini, and pāngarau in the new curricula and what that means for the Co-requisite.

Alignment Guides for the New Zealand Curriculum

These resources cover numeracy, reading, and writing. They are designed to show teachers and school leaders that the skills they are beginning to teach from Phase 4 of the English Learning Area and Mathematics and Statistics Learning Area of the New Zealand Curriculum are the Literacy and Numeracy skills required to achieve the NCEA Co-requisite.
