Summary

 

At a meeting held in November 2010, the Whakaruruhau Matua supported the inclusion of all the Level 1-3 Field Māori unit standards to be listed on the BSAS.  This would address the issue of low usage of Field Māori in the secondary sector and enable access for rangatahi Māori in schools.

 

With the review of standards and qualifications in Field Māori, the Whakaruruhau had identified that in the process of the protection and maintenance of mātauranga Māori, barriers were created.  These barriers have impacted on building the capability skills and knowledge young Māori need to elevate their participation in becoming the leaders of tomorrow within their own whānau, hapū iwi and community.

 

The table above also shows the standards in the domains for the level specified when inclusion on the BSAS was approved.  This means that all schools with BSAS consent to assess will automatically have their consent to assess scope extended to the domains referred to above to Level 3.

 

Main changes

 

The standards are now covered by Consent and Moderation Requirements (CMR) 0226.

 

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

 

Field	Subfield	Domain	BSAS Level

	Hauora	Kaupapa Hauora	3
		Tikanga Hauora	3
