Model Students

NZ’s recently remodelled academic examination system (NCEA) is being touted by education reformers in the UK. The NCEA system is almost identical to one proposed by Britain’s former chief schools inspector, Mark Tomlinson, in October last year. By combining academic and vocational examinations under one umbrella, NZ has already seen a decreased number of students leaving school without qualifications – something UK reformers are hoping to emulate.
