flag 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. flag Principals are calling for these tests to be scrapped and for an alternative 20-credit option to become permanent. flag The Education Minister has previously expressed concern and provided $2.5 million in aid for affected students. flag However, the ACT Party opposes scrapping the tests, arguing for better preparation of students instead of lowering standards.
