The New Zealand education system is currently in the process of great change.  The New Zealand Curriculum refresh is reinvigorating our current status quo so that schools and communities are better supported to do what they do best: create rich and responsive learning that helps every ākonga realise their goals and aspirations.

What is NCEA and How Does it Work in 2027?

You will have achieved an NCEA level when you meet the following requirements:

NCEA Level 1: 60 credits required at level 1 or above and 10 credits in literacy and 10 credits in numeracy 

Literacy requirements are met by either; achieving in both the reading and writing common assessment activities or achieving 10 credits in specifically tagged literacy achievement standards 

Numeracy requirements are met by either; achieving in the numeracy common assessment activity or achieving 10 credits in specifically tagged numeracy achievement standards

Note: Any credits used to meet numeracy or literacy requirements do not count in the 60 required to gain level 1 NCEA. 

NCEA Level 2: 60 credits required at level 2 or above 

NCEA level 2 will only be awarded if the minimum literacy and numeracy requirements have been met as above.

NCEA Level 3: 60 credits required at level 3 or above  

NCEA level 3 will only be awarded if the minimum literacy and numeracy requirements have been met as above or was awarded prior to 2024.
