NZQA’s Insights papers provide research and analysis on key assessment and qualification issues, drawing on data, evidence and sector experience to support informed discussion across the education system.
The latest paper examines:
- the development and implementation of the dedicated co-requisite assessments
- participation and achievement trends
- findings from NZQA’s quality assurance work in schools.
Overall, the analysis suggests the co-requisite assessments are largely achieving their intended purpose by providing a nationally consistent, curriculum-aligned approach to assure foundational literacy and numeracy capability.
