Mallard Welcomes National's Acceptance of
Government Policy
Education Minister, Trevor Mallard has welcomed the National Party's acceptance of the Government's senior school
assessment policy.
"I am delighted that Mr Brownlee has convinced Mrs Shipley and his other colleagues to support the continuation of the
NCEA. This provides certainty to students, parents and teachers alike.
"I also welcome Mr Brownlee's support for the scholarship component of senior school assessment which I foreshadowed
last year.
"National's 'new ideas' on assessment, have simply confirmed the status quo," says Trevor Mallard.
