The full list of standards approved for use to achieve the NCEA co-requisite during 2024 and 2025 is now available.

Standards available in the transition period reflect a reduction of around 85 per cent from the standards available for current requirements.

As of 2023, the five dedicated co-requisite standards are the recommended approach. MoE know time, support, and guidance is needed to help individuals be ready to use only the co-requisite standards. The two-year transitional period from 2024 to the end of 2025 provides time for schools, kura, and other NCEA providers to fully adapt to the change.

Alongside English, Mathematics and Statistics, Te Reo Māori, and Pāngarau, assessment standards are included from Science, Social Sciences, Pūtaiao and Tikanga-ā-Iwi. This reinforces the position that teaching and learning of te reo matatini, literacy, pāngarau, and numeracy should occur across the curriculum and a schoolwide approach is required.

Fuller information is available here:

• Approved standards reflect skills and competency in te reo matatini, pāngarau, literacy, and numeracy (NCEA.Education)
• Standards approved for NCEA co-requisite for 2024 and 2025 (NCEA.Education)

Please let the MoE know of any gaps in the information provided through today’s release and they will work to provide additional information.
