New Zealand Secondary Schools
From Free net encyclopedia
Template:Cleanup-date Secondary education in New Zealand takes up to five years, covering the ages 13 (Year 9, formerly Form 3) to 18 (Year 13, formerly Form 7).
The Government-sponsored school finishing examination is the National Certificate of Educational Achievement at Level 3. At some schools students can opt for the General Certificate of Education (A-levels) or the International Baccalaureate Diploma.
Online information
Current information about individual schools is available from the New Zealand Government's Education Review Office (ERO), which 'reviews schools and early childhood education services every three years, and publishes national reports on current education practice'. ERO reports include statistical data such as overall roll, parental income, and gender and ethnic composition, as well as assessment of areas of strength and areas for improvement. ERO reports are available from the ERO homepage.
The New Zealand Government has a Guide to Schooling in New Zealand which covers primary, intermediate and secondary schooling.
