NZQA National Qualifications Services has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Summary
The standards have had minimal usage since their registration.
There is no identified need to replace any of the standards in view of the current and future developments in the educational and vocational environments for the recognition for mathematical and statistical knowledge and skills.
Representatives from tertiary education organisations, industry, secondary schools, and the New Zealand Association of Mathematics Teachers recommended that these standards be designated expiring and not replaced due to very low and dwindling usage and the development of other assessment methods and tools for assessing mathematical knowledge and skills that are more applicable to workplace environments and candidates' needs.
Category D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2013
Impact on registered qualifications
|
Key to type of impact | |
|
Affected |
The qualification lists a reviewed classification (domain or subfield) in an elective set The qualification lists a standard that has changes to level or credits The qualification lists a C or D category standard |
|
Not materially affected |
The qualification lists a standard that has a new title The qualification lists a standard that has a new classification |
The following table identifies a qualification developed by another SSB that is impacted by the outcome of this review. The SSB has been advised that the qualification requires revision.

|
Key to review category | |
|
A |
Dates changed, but no other changes are made - the new version of the standard carries the same ID and a new version number |
|
B |
Changes made, but the overall outcome remains the same - the new version of the standard carries the same ID and a new version number |
|
C |
Major changes that necessitate the registration of a replacement standard with a new ID |
|
D |
Standard will expire and not be replaced |
