Ruth Shinoda: Education Review Office Deputy CEO on the number of schools dropping NCEA Level 1

More schools are dropping NCEA Level 1.   An Education Review Office review has found it's not a fair or reliable measure of knowledge and skills, and needs substantial change.   Less than three-quarters of schools plan to offer NCEA Level 1 next year.  ERO's Ruth Shinoda told Mike Hosking that in more affluent communities, it's less than half.   She says three quarters of school leaders say the credits students receive don't reflect an equal amount of work or degree of difficulty.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
