URL: L3 alignment of NCEA with the NZC completed
The three-stage alignment of the National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA) with The New Zealand Curriculum (NZC) has been completed.
NCEA Levels 1 to 3 are now aligned to NZC Levels 6 to 8.
Completing this alignment positions the curriculum at the heart of teaching and learning programmes for all senior secondary students.
Whatever their qualification goals all senior secondary students, including Māori and Pasifika, those with special learning needs, those who have English language learning needs and those from low socio-economic backgrounds, will benefit from the flexible pathways that NCEA offers.
The curriculum creates opportunities for teachers to design quality teaching and learning programmes which are responsive to each learner and their unique learning contexts, and which prepare them for appropriate pathways that will bring them success.
