Implement the Post Primary Teachers Association recommendations on NCEA from the Teachers Talk about the NCEA Report March 2005
Evaluate NCEA in consultation with teachers, tertiary educators, employers, parents and learners to improve its assessment practices and its implementation
Develop easily accessible information for learners, parents, and employers to increase understanding of the NCEA
Include a change to the implementation and assessment practice of NCEA so that it allows children to show a breadth and depth of knowledge rather than just performing isolated tasks
Research and develop ways for NCEA results to become internationally recognised qualifications for our children

Continue the evolutionary improvement of the NCEA

Set clear national standards in reading, writing, and maths. The standards will describe all the things children should be able to do by a particular age or year at school
Require primary schools to use assessment programmes that compare the progress of their students with other students across the country
Give parents the right to see all assessment information, and get regular reports about their child’s progress

Conduct an immediate inquiry into, and maintain an ongoing review of NCEA assessment systems, and in particular NZQA's setting of standards and management of the assessment process
Consider the practical implications of removing unit standards from NCEA

Advocate for better teacher resourcing to handle greater demands of the assessment based procedures involved in NCEA
Advocate for an increase in non contact time so teachers can meet the extra demands created through NCEA

Introduce a minimum number of standards for each subject that must be externally assessed
Improve communication between examiners and teachers and students on what each achievement standard requires
Ensure that all assessment tasks provided by NZQA have been pre-moderated
Increase opportunities for external assessment of students' work throughout the year
Establish consistent policies on reassessment
