In Week 5 of the Talanoa Ako NCEA Series 2026, we break down one of the most important foundations of student success — Literacy and Numeracy support.

This episode explores the NCEA co-requisite in detail, where students across Levels 1, 2, and 3 must achieve 10 Literacy (or Te Reo Matatini) credits and 10 Numeracy (or Pāngarau) credits to gain their qualification.

We unpack:
• What literacy and numeracy mean in today’s learning environment
• How and when students can achieve the co-requisite throughout their NCEA journey
• What structured literacy and numeracy learning looks like in classrooms
• Why learning must be clear, consistent, and aligned with global standards
• Daily learning expectations for Years 1–8, including reading, writing, and maths
• What this means for Years 9 and 10 students
• How literacy and numeracy are assessed across different NCEA subjects

Talanoa Ako continues to support Pacific families by making education accessible and easy to understand. The series is available in seven Pacific languages — Cook Islands Māori, Fijian, Niuean, Samoan, Tokelauan, Tongan, and Tuvaluan — alongside English.
