Summary

 

The standards in domain Vagahau Niue were reviewed as part of NZQA National Qualifications Services’ regular review cycle.  Prior to the review, the Ministry of Education recommended the unit standards be reviewed to include grade criteria.  The Niue Community were consulted with and supported the recommendation.  A Project Advisory Group was established to oversee the work of a review panel.  The review panel consisted of mainly teachers who were using the standards and included representation from Vagahau Niue High School.

 

Fifteen new Vagahau unit standards were developed with Achieved, Merit and Excellence grades at Levels 1-3.  Assessment Support Material was developed to support the graded standards.  Two Level 4 unit standards were reviewed and the remaining four standards proposed to expire.  National consultation on the proposed new standards and expiry was conducted throughout June/July via the NZQA website.

·      Sixteen new Vagahau unit standards were developed with Achieved, Merit and Excellence grades at Levels 1-3.

·      Unit standard 19836 outcomes have been combined.
