- Description
A bewildered bird representing 'NCEA' is targeted by several guns. A second version has the bird representing 'NCEA credibility' and saying 'I'll give it a shot'. A third version lacks the 'I'll give it a shot' comment and a fourth version has all the guns going 'click, click, click' as the safety catches are released and the bird observes 'They've clicked!' Context - This may be explained by the following quote - 'Some of the country's bigger high schools are cancelling more than half their pupils' NCEA enrolments - and some admit it's because the children aren't going to make the grade. In Auckland, the Education Ministry says it received two complaints about students being withdrawn last year. Amid claims that some schools are boosting their results by "credit cleansing" struggling students, Secondary Principals' Association president Patrick Walsh said the New Zealand Qualifications Authority should investigate "to maintain the credibility of NCEA".
