Curriculum Insights
The Curriculum Insights and Progress Study generates valuable insights into student progress and achievement across Aotearoa New Zealand. The study began in 2023, in association with the updates to the New Zealand Curriculum, and builds on the foundations laid by the National Monitoring Study of Student Achievement (NMSSA).
What we do
