The Opposition is opening the door to potentially keeping NCEA.

Labour's promising an independent council to oversee curriculum decisions if elected — and to keep NCEA until 2029.

It says that gives time to review the qualification, with changes properly planned and phased in.

Education spokesperson Ginny Andersen says the majority of submissions backed strengthening NCEA, rather than replacing it.

"Labour actually had cross-party, bipartisan agreement with National - that's exactly what we would do. That will be better for our kids to have stability in our education system."
