Porirua College cancels NCEA literacy tests due to pressure

Porirua College has cancelled its NCEA literacy tests because students arent ready for them and there's already too much pressure on them and staff according to the principal. Students need to pass the tests to achieve NCEA qualifications, with the two week assessment period for the numeracy and literacy asessments starting today. Porirua College had decided it students will only sit the numeracy test this time round, because of an already heavy assessment schedule, Porirua College Principal Ragne Maxwell spoke to Lisa Owen.
