2012-2015 Overview

Māori Governance Review Plan

For more information, read the Māori Governance Review Plan (DOC, 276KB).

Background

In June 2013 the two Māori Governance qualifications were given 'Approval to Develop'.

The Governance Group then further developed and aligned the qualifications for 'Approval to List' on the New Zealand Qualifications Framework. This development was aligned with a MM EQA approach including consideration of:

  • Qualification Award
  • Review Period
  • Qualification Specifications – Arrangements for managing consistency; Credit transfer and recognition of prior learning arrangements; Standards of achievement and grade endorsements; prerequisites; mandatory and optional conditions
  • Conditions relating to specific outcomes.

The review

Qualifications in Māori Governance (at levels 1-6, excluding university qualifications) were reviewed as part of the nation-wide mandatory review of qualifications.

The review was led by a Governance Group appointed based on their expertise within the Māori Governance field and assisted by Māori Qualifications Services (NZQA) and Te Wānanga o Aotearoa as the project team.

The Governance Group confirmed the development of the Māori Governance under Mātauranga Māori Evaluative Quality Assurance (MM EQA) which acknowledged that a distinctive approach was required in order to quality assure Mātauranga Māori qualifications, programmes, and organisations credibly.
