Emphasis is Maths and English - excellent.
Much closer to international practice - excellent.
No more messing around with complex and fanciful curriculae, keep to the basics.
Good news but the left leaning teacher's union won't like it having
to teach real stuff instead of the wokeness from the last
government,
It is interesting that NCEA was introduced in 2002 to 2004 which is 20 years ago and somewhat before Labour went woke. You could say it was before its

I remember at the time there was much ado over it at the introduction of it.
