The Education Minister says NCEA results are disappointing. 

More than half of the 55 thousand teens who attempted the new NCEA prerequisite tests failed their numeracy assessment.

Reading had a pass rate of 59%, while 56% of the students passed writing.

The Government's aiming for 80% of Year eight students to be at or above curriculum level by 2030.

Education Minister Erica Stanford told Mike Hosking this will take some time.

She says there's a whole range of levers they're pulling to make sure primary school kids are learning structured maths and literacy.
