Māori Qualifications Services (MQS) and NZQA have a strong responsibility for the unique learning style of Māori. The number of qualifications available on the Framework and the possibility of more being added in the near future reflect this. There are currently 16 subfields 'housed' in field Māori and around 600 unit standards registered in field Māori and around 600 unit standards in field Māori on the Framework. Whakaruruhau are advisory panellists that work with MQS to create each individual unit standard and qualification on the Framework to acknowledge and recognise Māori.

General Education includes Pāngarau, Oranga, Kōrero me ngā Reo, Pūtaiao and Tikanga-ā-iwi unit standards that align to the school curriculum. You will also find New Māori Dance, New Māori Music and Taonga Pūoro registered under the Māori Performing Arts subfield. Māori Geography These unit standards will be moved from the field of Social Sciences to field Māori. All affected stakeholders will be informed of this move.
