Low-income schools in New Zealand see high failure rates in new online tests, sparking calls to scrap them.
Schools in low-income areas of New Zealand are seeing high failure rates in new online NCEA tests, with over half failing reading and writing tests and nearly three-quarters failing numeracy tests.
Principals are calling for these tests to be scrapped and for an alternative 20-credit option to become permanent.
The Education Minister has previously expressed concern and provided $2.5 million in aid for affected students.
However, the ACT Party opposes scrapping the tests, arguing for better preparation of students instead of lowering standards.
