About National Standards
Doing well in reading, writing and maths gives children the skills and knowledge they need to succeed at school, and in the future.
From 2010, schools with children in Years 1-8 will be using National Standards in reading, writing and maths. The standards give teachers, children, parents, families and whānau a clear idea of where children are at in reading, writing and maths, and what they have to do next in their learning.
