NZQA National Qualifications Services (NQS) has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.

 

Date new versions published                                                          June 2011

 

Summary

 

In 2007, discussion was held between NQS and the Sports, Fitness and Recreation Industry Training Organisation (Skills Active Aotearoa) as to the appropriateness of NQS setting standards in subfield Sports Education.

 

Following discussion it was agreed that these standards should be considered alongside the review of New Zealand Curriculum derived achievement standards within domain Physical Education to ensure there was no overlap.  Once that was established, a transfer of responsibility from NQS to Skills Active could be considered.

 

As the review of New Zealand Curriculum derived achievement standards progressed, it became apparent that there was significant overlap between standards in domain Sports Skills and New Zealand Curriculum derived achievement standards within domain Physical Education.

 

In October 2010 NQS wrote to Skills Active Aotearoa advising of the intention to expire unit standards in domain Sports Skills and seeking consideration of the transfer of standard setting responsibility for standards in domain Sports Practice.  Skills Active showed no interest in the transfer of responsibility.
