Schools are pleased that the NCEA results are being statistically represented in a way that is fairer. Instead of percentages being based on rolls they are now based on participation. In some cases this has made a substantial difference. Nationally, 63 percent of all year 11 pupils jumps to 70 percent. Great.
So what is happening to those students enrolled and NOT sitting NCEA? Surely it is important to compare these differences between schools as well.
It is one thing for a school to do well in getting pupils successfully through the exams and assessments but whether or not they are motivating students to actually participate in the first place is also a marker of their success.

Good thing too. Frankly the sooner the government abolishes NCEA, removes the "school leaving age" and leaves the market to provide a solution the better.
If the parents don't care where their child sits NCEA, I think there is little chance the secondary school will be able to convince a student whether it matters or not.
However, if a school has high marks for NCEA achievement it's probably fair to sugest that a large number of students at that school sit NCEA.
