Summary

 

The review of these unit standards was initiated through their scheduled review and the Targeted Review of Qualifications (TRoQ) for Tikanga Māori qualifications.

 

The Whakaruruhau met in October 2015, and the unit standards were reviewed to ensure they remain fit for purpose and relevant to current practice.

 

Main changes

 

All amendments to the unit standards have been endorsed by Whakaruruhau.

 

·      Explanatory notes were amended to better reflect the intentions of the standards and to give more guidance and clarity for users of the standards.

o   customary and contemporary – the Whakaruruhau removed the definition on the basis that contemporary is belonging to or occurring in the present and the kaiako can decide what is customary

o   tikanga – removed region and added marae, whānau, hapū or iwi

o   tapu and noa – removed kawa.

·      The evidence requirements in the unit standards were reworded for simplicity and clarity.

·      Credit values were increased in unit standards 21433 and 21436.

·      Changes were made to the titles, purpose statements, outcomes and evidence requirements to better reflect the intention of unit standards 21434, 21436, 23640, and 23641.

·      One new standard, 29295, was developed to meet iwi, hapū, whanau, and hapori needs with regard to relevant legislation.

·      “In accordance with Tikanga” was removed from the title, purpose and outcome statements of unit standard 27144 to broaden the context in which the standard could be achieved.

·      The last date for assessment of superseded versions of reviewed standards is 31 December 2018.  Results will not be accepted where the assessment date is after the last date for assessment of the superseded version.
