Assessment and Examination Rules and Procedures
The principles of fairness, validity and transparency of assessment practice for all students are fundamental to the administration of qualifications and underpin these Rules and Procedures.
These Rules and Procedures are an administrative guide for secondary schools and tertiary providers delivering achievement standards for students.
The Rules and Procedures replace the School Qualifications Regulations and Prescriptions and the NZQA Liaison Teachers Reference Guide Handbook.
NZQA will publish operational rules and provisions that supplement these Rules and Procedures at appropriate times. The operational rules and provisions will be reproduced either on the Rules and Procedures web pages, in supplementary written material, or in sets of instructions to candidates.
