An assistant principal at a high school in Wellington says there are big gaps in NECA students' knowledge when they arrive at Universities.
Dr Michelle Tewkesbury, who is assistant principal at Scots College, says teachers are focussing on what will be assessed, rather than the subject as a whole. This means many students often don't have a solid grasp of a subject as a whole.
Michelle tells Jesse about how she has compared the way NCEA is taught with an international curriculum offered in some New Zealand schools and found the local syllabus lacking.
