Hui-Tanguru 2003

There are currently 16 subfields and more than 550 unit standards registered in the Māori field.

Subfields

Some subfields like General Education include a range of different subjects. General Education includes Pangarau, Oranga, K?rero me ngā Reo, P taiao and Tikanga ā-iwi unit standards.

Unit Standards

Unit standards in New Māori Dance and New Māori Music are now registered on the National Qualifications Framework. You will find them in the Māori Performing Arts subfield. More information about these new unit standards is available in this story here.

A review of the 21 Hauora unit standards (levels 2-6) has resulted in the registration of seven new unit standards that cover areas like referral systems and conflict resolution.

There are also unit standards being developed and reviewed in Māori Geography, Seafood, Whakairo, Mana Wahine, Te Mātauranga me te Whakangungu and Tikanga.
