Summary

 

The review was undertaken with two objectives: to review them before the scheduled planned review date (2017) and to make provision for on-line evidence gathering.

 

The review was conducted by two panels of expert stakeholders, one for Literacy and one for Numeracy, supported by an extensive e-mail network of providers and other stakeholders, and by national consultation through the NZQA website.

 

Main changes

 

·      Standards 26623 and 26624 were amended to allow evidence gathering through the pilot on-line Literacy and Numeracy Digital Evidence Tool (LiNDET).

·      The definition of Numeracy was amended in the Numeracy standards.

·      Explanatory notes, outcomes, ranges, and evidence requirements were amended as required for clarification.

 

The last date for assessment of superseded versions of Category B unit standards is 31 December 2019

 

Impact on Consent and Moderation Requirements (CMR)

 

The standards have been moved to CMR 0113, but the requirements have not altered.
