Auckland Grammar School Headmaster Tim O'Connor said the school was positive about the government's changes.

Auckland Grammar School has welcomed the government's proposed replacement for NCEA, saying the planned qualification reforms are a move toward greater academic rigour and consistency across the country.

The government on Saturday released further details about the new secondary school qualification framework, which is expected to begin replacing NCEA from 2028.

Auckland Grammar became the first state school to partially abandon NCEA in 2011, introducing Cambridge International Examinations after concerns the national qualification lacked academic rigour.
