The Government will be pushing ahead with new NCEA literacy and numeracy tests despite a trial which saw one school have a zero percent pass rate. 

The tests, which are set to go into effect in 2024, were trialled on year 10s.

Associate Education Minister Jan Tinetti told Mike Hosking their new testing strategy will reveal gaps in students’ knowledge.

“So what will happen over time is that when they take these assessments they will have the opportunity to then work out where the gaps are and they will have the opportunity to plug those gaps.”
