Summary

 

The standards in domain Niue Tradition and culture were reviewed as part of NQS' regular review cycle.

 

Networks in the New Zealand Niue community were contacted, advised of the review and invited to participate in it.  A representative from Niue High School was also invited.  When the standards had been reviewed they were sent out for consultation and endorsement of the changes.

 

Main changes

 

·      Credit values were changed, for all standards except 21322, to more accurately reflect the learning time required to gain the standards.

·      Vagahau Niue was corrected throughout the standards.

·      Some explanatory notes were clarified for consistency with the outcomes and Vagahau Niue.

·      The range of fono in standards 21317 and 21318 has been amended to better align with the level of the standards.

·      Standard 21319 has been amended to cover general ceremonies.

·      Outcomes and evidence requirements have been amended to clarify the requirements of the standards.

 

The last date for assessment of superseded versions of these standards is 31 December 2014.  Results will not be accepted where the assessment date is after the last date for assessment of the superseded versions of the standard.
