Erica Stanford: National's Education Spokesperson on the new report indicating thousands of students could fail NCEA replacement

 

National's Education Spokesperson is brushing off concerns over previously unseen modelling suggesting the NCEA level two replacement could make pass rates plummet. 

Ministry of Education documents released to the PPTA show Year 12 attainment could fall 27 percent under the New Zealand Certificate of Education.

Erica Stanford says it's an old paper produced at the beginning of the curriculum reform, with changes made since.

"Before we made a whole lot of decisions - and the PPTA know that, they're just conveniently leaving that part out."
