NZQA Māori Qualifications Services (MQS) has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published July 2017
Summary
The Māori Performing Arts unit standards were looked at as part of their review cycle. Whilst the standard outcomes were deemed achievable, coherent, and consistent with valid assessment practices, it was queried as to whether they were fit for purpose. A total lack of usage suggested they were not.
The Whakaruruhau identified the standards were at too high a level (Level 7) for education organisations to use them. At the time of review, no organisation had consent to assess against the standards.
The Whakaruruhau gave a lot of consideration to the inaccessibility of these standards, their lack of usage, and what’s required to create a Māori Performing Arts (kapa haka) item. Whilst these items, and the histories they contain, may be complex and esoteric at their highest levels, the composers of such items didn’t start off writing such pieces.
A Level 2 standard was developed in 2016, with the intention of creating other standards to step learners up through to Level 6.
