Summary

 

Feedback from users of the standards, and from NZQA, indicated that these standards were fit for purpose and a full review was not needed at this time.  The standards were, therefore, revised and rolled over with only minor changes.

 

Main changes

 

·      The planned review date for all standards was changed from 31 December 2014 to 31 December 2018.

·      The last explanatory note of all the internally assessed achievement standards had the link to the webpage for the Conditions of Assessment updated.

·      The last explanatory note of achievement standard 90924 has had the link to the webpage for the Assessment Specifications Resources updated.

·      Where applicable, those standards have been revised to show that they derive from achievement objectives in Te Marautanga o Aotearoa (TMoA) as well as achievement objectives in The New Zealand Curriculum.
