Currently, we know that NCEA learners do not always have the literacy and numeracy | te reo matatini me te pāngarau skills to support them in learning, life, and work.
One of the NCEA changes is to create new standards that will directly assess literacy and numeracy | te reo matatini me te pāngarau as a co-requisite to the NCEA qualification. These standards will replace the existing avenues to meet the NCEA requirements. This means learners will no longer be able to meet the requirements through the current package of literacy and numeracy unit standards or the list of achievement standards.
The standards are set to become mandatory from 2024. This means that from 2024, a learner must achieve the co-requisite standards in order to be formally awarded their NCEA qualification at any level. A learner will still be able to continue their NCEA learning while they work towards achieving the literacy and numeracy standards but they will not receive a formal award of an NCEA without passing the Literacy and Numeracy | Te reo Matatini me te Pāngarau co-requisite.
The 2021 mini-pilot and the wider 2022 pilot will enable us to further refine the standards and assessments, improve our understanding of the support schools and kura require, and continue to create resources and tools to support the teaching and learning shifts.
