As of April 2023, the Ministry of Education has postponed making the shift to the Realigned standards for levels 2 & 3. This means that students taking Level 1 in 2024 will take part in the new standards for level 1, before finishing with the current level 2 & 3 standards. Level 2 will be rolled out in 2026 and level 3 in 2027. You can find more information here: Review of Achievement Standards | NCEA (education.govt.nz).Â
