It's been found the blame lies at NZQA’s feet for a number of digital exam assessment glitches.
An independent review found last year's issues —which included trouble saving exam work and lagging— was down to a number of safeguards failing.
Avonside Girls' High School Principal Catherine Law told Mike Hosking that it wasn't catastrophic from their perspective, but some students would've felt that way.
She says the vision for going digital is great but current issues make it difficult.
Law says she's unsure whether we're as prepared for it as previously thought.
NZQA's accepted the findings and apologised.
