Take the quiz again
Parent · Year 11 in 2026
Your Year 11 does the full NCEA pathway.
NCEA Level 1 in 2026, Level 2 in 2027, Level 3 in 2028. They never touch the new system.
Verdict
Your kid finishes on NCEA.
What this looks like, year by year
- 1NCEA Level 1 in 2026.
- 2NCEA Level 2 in 2027.
- 3NCEA Level 3 in 2028.
What it actually means
Even though the new Year 11 curriculum starts in 2028, by then your kid is at Level 3 — still NCEA. They're unaffected.
What to do now
- Support them through NCEA Level 1.
- Treat the NZCE news as background — it doesn't apply to them.
