New Zealand Education System
New Zealand high schools provide one of three qualification and examinations frameworks. Public schools mostly use the official NCEA, while private schools may choose to follow NCEA, CIE or IB. Students gain university entrance based on the college results of whichever qualification they complete without having to sit another university entrance exam.
