Justine Mahon: St Cuthbert's College Principal says their NCEA Level 1 replacement will allow for six more weeks of teaching time

The Mike Hosking Breakfast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Tuesdays

Claims a NCEA Level 1 replacement will allow for six more weeks of teaching time. Auckland private school St Cuthbert's College is the latest in a growing list of schools removing the standard and replacing it with its own Year 11 diploma next year. Principal Justine Mahon told Mike Hosking the proposed Level 1 qualification won't teach young people key concepts. "The St Cuthbert's diploma in 2024 will ensure that there are no gaps in understanding in key areas and that students are offered a more conceptually coherent framework."
