Chris Abercrombie: PPTA President on changes on the way for NCEA - Early Edition with Ryan Bridge

A teachers union is hoping the Government keeps the bulk of NCEA. 

A major announcement on the future of the secondary qualification is expected to be imminent.

It's understood public consultation will be launched on proposed changes -- in which teachers and parents can give feedback.

PPTA President Chris Abercrombie told Ryan Bridge he wants improvements - not for it to be thrown out entirely. 

He says there are some issues with coherency around subjects and the structure of vocational pathways.
