Further on NCEA

Having kept the same published table from 2003 I did a quick comparison of Wellington area schools. There are a couple of decile 1 and 2 secondary schools doing really well and I don't want to do them a disservice with my prior post. Porirua College and Wainuiomata High School have boosted their level 1 pass rates significantly and should be very pleased and proud of their achievement. Unfortunately two others, Bishop Viard and Mana have slumped significantly. Swings and roundabouts. Arguments about the merits of state education aside, if some schools can boost their performance, why can't others? All of these schools will be receiving similar funding so again, the success or failure of the students isn't about money.
