NZQA Māori Qualifications Services (MQS) has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published December 2010
Planned review date December 2015
Summary
The unit standards have been reviewed as part of the MQS review cycle, to ensure that the standards are fit for purpose and the outcomes are achievable, manageable, coherent, assessable and consistent with valid assessment practices.
The Whakaruruhau Funeral Services Māori met to review the standards in December 2009, and again in April, June and September of 2010. The Whakaruruhau consultation network included representation from across tertiary and wānanga sectors, Te Puni Kōkiri, the Funeral Services ITO, and an online web consultation facility. The Whakaruruhau considered feedback from tertiary education institutes, private training establishments, and wānanga sectors in finalising the standards.
In addressing issues identified during the consultation process, the Whakaruruhau recommended that unit standards 17471-17473 be designated category C expiring, to be replaced by three new unit standards. They also recommended that unit standards 17470 and 17474 be designated category D expiring as they are no longer fit for purpose. Consultation with internal and external stakeholders raised no objections to the outcomes of this review.
With the Funeral Services Māori subfield lapsing, the new standards were classified in the new domains under the new subfield Te Ara Nunumi - Bereavement Pathways Māori.
Main changes
· Unit standards 17470 and 17474 were considered no longer fit for purpose and designated expiring (category D).
· Unit standards 17471-17473 were replaced by three new unit standards.
Category C and D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2011.
