New Zealand Qualifications Authority's deputy chief executive Bali Haque yesterday asked students to use traditional English, not text language. But he said answers using words with missing vowels - in the style made popular through text messaging - would not necessarily fail. "The litmus test will be ... have they understood the concept of the idea?" said Mr Haque. Silly me, I tort da dumin dn of da naton ws a consprcy thry.??? |

| 612849 | 2007-11-18 22:17:00 | I agree, there is a time and place for everything, examinations are not the place for non-exact expressions when answering questions. School kids get too many leniences already! They need to learn to conform to society 1st. After they can, the choice is theirs! |

| 612856 | 2007-11-19 00:41:00 | On one hand this NCEA is hilarious, but on the other it is damn right tragic. I had a young lady stay with us, when her father and mother, complete with other siblings, headed to Australia. She stayed to complete her last years schooling here and she passed a number of NCEA subjects with flying colours. Her ambition was to become a Lawyer. However, when she got to Australia her New Zealand NCEA qualifications weren’t worth the paper they were printed on and she was told straight up that she would have to go back to school over there and obtain the appropriate Australian qualifications. NCEA didn’t cut it over there. The tragedy was that when last heard of she was a checkout chick in a Supermarket. Her NCEA was of no use whatsoever in Australia, nor I suggest, anywhere else by now. The idiots that invented and support this nonsense should be publicly flogged. :angry |
