Vaughan Couillault: Secondary Principals' Assn says delay of proposed changes to NCEA is being well received by the sector

The delay of some proposed changes to the NCEA system to make room for a fresh focus on literacy and numeracy skills is being well received by the education sector. New tests on the subjects will be introduced next year, along with the new NCEA Level One while the updated Level Two and Three have been delayed to 2026 and 2027. Secondary Principals' Association President, Vaughan Couillault says told Tim Dower it doesn't impact the credibility of the NCEA system. He says the qualification gets a refresh every seven to 10 years, as they look to ensure it remains relevant and current for learners' needs.
