About this listen

Welcome to the Talanoa Ako NCEA Series 2026, supporting Pacific students, parents, and families to better understand the NCEA journey

In Week 1, we explore the foundations of NCEA and what it means for learners across secondary school.

This episode covers:
• What NCEA is and how it works
• How students can pass and succeed
• Understanding Common Assessment Activities (CAA)
• The latest updates on the ongoing NCEA review. We also share helpful guidance for parents on accessing school portals, tracking their child’s progress, and understanding the new Level 1 standards.

To ensure our Pacific communities stay informed and connected, the Talanoa Ako series is available in seven Pacific languages — Cook Islands Māori, Fijian, Niuean, Samoan, Tokelauan, Tongan, and Tuvaluan — as well as English.

For more information and resources, parents can access the Talanoa Ako digital app on the Google Play Store.
