NZQA National Qualifications Services has completed the revision and rollover of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published July 2012
Planned review date December 2015
Summary
These standards were last reviewed in 2008 to align with the New Zealand Curriculum.
They have historically been used to assess practicing teachers for award of the New Zealand Diploma in Specialist Subjects (Secondary Teacher) Division 2. The qualification is no longer being awarded so consideration was given to expiring the standards.
However, a review of secondary/tertiary interaction is currently being undertaken by the Ministry of Education and the outcome of that review may impact upon the use of these standards. It was, therefore, decided that the standards should be rolled over pending the outcome of the review.
