Assessment Matters
Change to resubmission rules from 2021 onwards
A2020/21 - 8 Dec 2020
|
To: |
Principal |
This change is an outcome of the NCEA Review. NZQA will publish the updated Assessment Rule on 1 February 2021 in the Assessment (including Examination) Rules for Schools with Consent to Assess 2021.
Schools may offer a resubmission opportunity to students only when a minor error prevents them from reaching an ‘Achieved’ grade.
The only change in grade boundary available for resubmissions is from ‘Not Achieved’ to ‘Achieved.’
On this basis, the highest grade that can be awarded as a result of a resubmission of an internal assessment is limited to ‘Achieved’.
This Rule will apply from the beginning of the 2021 academic year.
Schools may continue to offer one resubmission for each assessment event against an Assessment Standard.
More information can be found in this NCEA Mythbuster: Myth#4 Resubmission.
Further Assessment Opportunities Unchanged
This change applies only to resubmissions.
The rule relating to the provision of Further Assessment Opportunities remains unchanged
