Summary

 

The Mau Rākau unit standards were reviewed to keep them fit for purpose, and to make sure they would align with the outcomes of the new qualifications that have been developed as part of the mandatory review of qualifications.

 

The Whakaruruhau met in Auckland in July 2015 to review the standards, and also agreed to include grades in the new versions of the Mau Rākau standards as an incentive for the secondary school students studying Mau Rākau at Levels 1-3.

 

The new versions of the standards were finalised and endorsed by the Whakaruruhau at their hui in October 2015.

 

Main changes

 

·      The inclusion of Merit and Excellence grades.

·      The level of standards 27550 and 27551 was reduced from 3 to 2 to better align the outcomes with the level descriptors.

·      The title of standard 27545 was amended to clarify the outcome.

·      Amendments to wording of outcomes, evidence requirements and range statements in some standards to ensure consistency across the suite of standards.

·      The credit values of standards 27546, 27547, 27550, 20948-20950, 27544, and 27545, were updated to better reflect the content of the standards.

·      CMR information has been updated for Level 1-Level 3 standards to refer to CMR 0226.
