Results from Literacy and Numeracy assessment events

Participation and attainment data for recent years' Literacy and Numeracy and Te Reo Matatini me te Pāngarau co-requisite assessments

2024

In the May/June co-requisite assessment event in 2024, approximately 74,500 students participated in one or more assessments (Reading, Writing, Numeracy, Te Reo Matatini Te Reo Torohū, Te Reo Matatini Te Reo Whakaputa me te Pāngarau). Just under half of the students participating were in Year 10. Students have multiple opportunities throughout their NCEA experience to achieve the new standards.

In 2022 and 2023, there was only one Te Reo Matatini standard of 10 credits with reading, writing and oral components. For 2024, this single standard was replaced with two 5-credit standards: Te Reo Torohū and Te Reo Whakaputa.

The following table shows the results from the May/June assessments. There will be a second assessment event in September 2024.

2023

In 2023, approximately 66,500 students participated in either the first or the second assessment event in one or more assessments (Reading, Writing, Numeracy, Te Reo Matatini me te Pāngarau). More than 75% of the students were in Year 10.

The following table shows overall results from assessments attempted in 2023. Where a student was assessed in both June and October/November, only the last result is counted when determining the overall results for the year.
