Poll: Do you think it's time for a new system?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

The Government will move to replace the National Certificate of Educational Achievement, NCEA, with new qualifications, Education Minister Erica Stanford announced in Auckland on Monday morning.

The new system - which will go out for feedback - would replace NCEA’s complex system of credits with scores from 0-100 and a reversion to grade scales such as A through E.

Do you think it's time for a new system? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.
