Public Achievement Information shows more students achieving in Te Atatū

National List MP Alfred Ngaro says parents will be happy to know there is steady improvement in Te Atatu with 79 per cent of kids passing NCEA Level 2.

"This is fantastic news. I want to congratulate all our hard-working students, and thank their parents, teachers, and principals who supported their education and their achievements,” MP Alfred Ngaro said.

“The proportion of 18-year-olds with NCEA Level 2 has risen in each of New Zealand’s 16 local body regions.

“The breakdown shows that between 2011 and 2014 the percentage of 18-year-olds with NCEA Level 2 rose by between 3.8 per cent and 18.4 per cent on a regional basis.

“The Government is committed to ensuring all young New Zealanders can achieve educational success and these results show that what we’re doing is working.

“Public Achievement Information gives students, parents, educators, and communities a picture of what is happening both in their area and nationally.

“It helps teachers provide the right support to the right students, and helps schools, employers, and training providers to work out what skills are needed to boost local economic performance.”
