NZQA National Qualifications Services has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published March 2019
Planned review date December 2023
Summary
The Special Education standards were due for review and needed updating to reflect current practice and terminology. As a prelude to a wider review, standard 7302 was designated expiring and a new version of 7310 was created based on feedback from stakeholders. The new version of 7310 and the expiry of 7302 were then consulted on nationally.
Review of the remaining 7 standards in the Special Education subfield will be carried out in early 2019.
Main changes
· Standard 7302 was designated expiring without replacement (very low usage over the last 6 years and no indicated intention to use it).
· Standard 7310 was amended to reflect the new template, where Explanatory notes are renamed Guidance information, and Evidence requirements become Performance criteria.
· Changes were made to guidance information to remove reference to outdated guidelines and to clarify the requirements of the standard.
The Category D unit standard will expire at the end of December 2020
