Summary
Following sector consultation, the above standards were scheduled to expire in December 2013 without replacement.
However, following a successful request from schools to the Ministry of Education to develop achievement standards for New Zealand Sign Language, the expiry date for these standards has been extended in order to ensure unit standards currently being assessed against remain available until replaced by the achievement standards. This extension of expiry date was agreed by the NZQA Board.
The new expiry dates are shown in the table below.
Main changes
· Level 1 unit standards have had their expiry date extended to December 2015.
· Level 2 unit standards have had their expiry date extended to December 2016.
· Level 3 unit standards have had their expiry date extended to December 2017.
