Otago secondary schools will be at the forefront of changes to NCEA Level 2 standards realignments next week.
A teacher-only day will be held on Tuesday for Otago teachers to attend seminars run by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority in Dunedin.
Kaikorai Valley College principal Philip Craigie said NCEA level 2 achievement standards would be adjusted this year, and many unit standards would be dropped.
Teachers from around the region would be the first in New Zealand to attend seminars with NZQA moderators that would explain the changes and offer practical suggestions on how to carry them out.
Seminars for each subject would be held at various schools in Dunedin throughout the day, he said.
