The new NCEA Review Ministerial Advisory Group brings a diverse range of skills and experience relevant to the NCEA review, ranging from youth advocacy to student assessment, secondary-tertiary pathways and Māori-medium education, along with a broad understanding of secondary schooling in New Zealand.

Barbara Cavanagh, Huntly College
Pauline Waiti, Ahu Whakamua Limited
Michelle Dickinson, ‘Nanogirl’
Jonathan Gee, New Zealand Union of Students’ Associations
Arizona Leger, Auckland University of Technology

Public consultation as part of the NCEA review is expected to begin in late April 2018.
