Summary of review and consultation process |
A suite of 24 qualifications developed under the mandatory review of Teacher Education qualifications (Levels 2-6) were approved and listed on the New Zealand Qualifications Framework (NZQF) in February 2016. This review concerns five of those qualifications across the three areas of Holistic Education (called Special Character in the mandatory review), Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD), and Pregnancy, Childbirth and Early Parenting Education. Each qualification area was reviewed separately by a relevant specialist working group. Stakeholders were kept informed and invited to contribute ideas, comment, and feedback both before and during the review, including a national consultation. |
