Education
Minister Steve Maharey says he wishes students all the best
for this year's NCEA and Scholarship exams.
"The huge

can be a stressful and challenging time."
Steve Maharey
said NZQA had worked hard to ensure the process for
assessing exams was robust and would meet the expectations
of parents and students.
