Secondary school students are getting a bit of a helping hand from the Government this year for those all important NCEA merit and excellence endorsements. Students will now only require 46 credits instead of the 50 previously required, and University entrance has changed too - with 14 credits required in each of 2 approved subjects and 12 credits in a third approved subject.

For more on this we are joined by the Associate Minister for Education Jan Tinetti.
