Auckland Grammar rejects NCEA exams

One of the country's most prestigious schools, Auckland Grammar, has become the first state school to dump NCEA exams.

The boys' secondary school in the upmarket suburb of Epsom will this year get its fifth form (year 11) students to sit the University of Cambridge's international exams in favour of NCEA exams, the Herald on Sunday reported today.

Headmaster John Morris said the move was backed by the board of trustees, the academic committee and the majority of parents.

The school would allow some exceptions by letting weaker students sit NCEA English and maths exams, the newspaper reported.
