Introduction
What is NMSSA?
The National Monitoring Study of Student Achievement (NMSSA) is designed to assess student achievement across the New Zealand Curriculum at Year 4 and Year 8 in New Zealand English-medium state and state-integrated schools. The study is carried out over five-yearly cycles and each year involves nationally representative samples of students from 100 schools at Year 4 and 100 schools at Year 8. Health and physical education was assessed in 2013, 2017 and again in 2022.
