Summary
This review was undertaken as part of the planned cycle of review of NQS unit standards.
A review panel comprising representatives from secondary schools, Te Aho o Te Kura Pounamu o Te Kura - The Correspondence School, Victoria University and YMCANZ-PTE was convened to review five Level 2 unit standards.
National consultation on the draft standards was conducted throughout August 2020 via the consultation section of the NZQA website. Education organisations who had reported results against these standards were contacted directly via email and invited to provide feedback on the reviewed standards.
