PPTA president Jack Boyle talks to Jesse about the increasing number of schools not taking part in NCEA level one to reduce stress for pupils and teachers.

Palmerston North Boys High School is the latest one to raise the idea of not doing that level in a newsletter to parents.

The school says NCEA level two is the minimum recognised qualification and not affected if students don't achieve level one.
