Background
Merging of the Reo Māori and Tikanga Māori qualification reviews
In January 2015, it was agreed between the co-leads of the Te Reo Māori review (NZQA and Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiarangi) and the Tikanga Māori review (NZQA and Te Wānanga o Aotearoa), that the two qualifications reviews should be combined. The qualifications in both reviews had been granted 'Approval to Develop', and were beginning the ‘Approval to List’ phase of development.
Māori Qualifications Services (NZQA) and Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiarangi continued to lead the developments during this phase of the review.
The Governance Groups from each review merged, and became the Governance Group for Te Reo me Ngā Tikanga Māori Qualifications Review. The Governance Group met on 26 February 2015 to discuss the merging of the two suites of qualifications, and confirm the proposed qualifications landscape and mātāpono.
The Summary Report from this hui is available:
Qualification Development
The Working Groups met on 30-31 March 2015 to further develop and confirm the strategic purpose statements; graduate profile outcome statements; educational, employment, and cultural pathways for graduates of the qualifications; and consistency arrangements for the full suite of Te Reo me Ngā Tikanga Māori qualifications.
Stakeholder attestation (NZQF4) and Qualification owners (NZQF 6) forms
As part of the review documentation requirements, evidence of support was collected from stakeholders (NZQF4 (DOC, 56KB)) and qualification owners (NZQF6 (DOC, 46KB)).
