    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
    time and a generation has tried this out.

    I guess it may have started ou okay by it was hijacked by the increasing
    woke mindset.

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