The NZQA National Qualifications Service has decided that the unit standards referred to above that were registered in February 2004 should be included in the list of Base Scope of Accreditation for Schools (BSAS) subjects (until March 2004 these were referred to as CSS subjects).  This means that all schools with BSAS accreditation will automatically be granted accreditation for the domain referred to above to level 4.  Accreditation requirements for Schools will be in line with those governing conventional school subjects.

 

Date published                     December 2005

 

The BSAS list has been updated to include the following BSAS domain.

 

FIELD	Subfield	Domain	To Level
SCIENCES	Science	Astronomy	4

 

The unit standards and the Accreditation and Moderation Action Plan [Ref: 0184] have not been amended as they already indicate that the ITO will not be involved in the accreditation process.  However, the AMAP has been updated and republished as version 2.
