5. No testing sounds good, but will this disadvantage our students when moving into tertiary education overseas?
Answer
The prerequisite for tertiary education remains NCEA Level 3; students will still be able to gain this qualification. The real issue here is that NCEA Level 3 isn’t recognised overseas (apart from Australia). NZQA needs to work on this issue.

I get wanting to de-emphasise testing at younger age, but removing it sounds like we would be out of kilter with the world, and we are too small for that.
