Auckland NCEA students get extra bonus credits due to second lockdown

Ripu Bhatia Reporter from Community News

Senior students in Auckland will be able to get bonus NCEA credits and enrol in summer school after the second Covid-19 lockdown disrupted their learning.

Education Minister Chris Hipkins announced a raft of temporary changes to NCEA for Auckland students, who have missed an extra two a half weeks of school compared to pupils in the rest of the country.

The changes build on the system of bonus credits previously announced for all students.

Auckland teenagers will now earn one bonus credit for every four credits they achieve, up to a maximum of 16 bonus credits at level 1, and 12 at levels 2 and 3.

In the rest of the country, students will get one credit for every five they earn, up to a maximum of 10 and eight.

Four thousand students will now be able to enrol in summer school through Te Kura Correspondence School. There is normally a cap of 1000 students.
