Summary

 

In consultation with key stakeholders, NZQA National Qualifications Services has deferred the planned reviews of the English for Academic Purposes (EAP) unit standards and the New Zealand Certificates in English Language (NZCEL) for a year.  The standards and qualifications will remain fit for purpose.

 

While some initial work may be started earlier, the deferral aims to give schools and tertiary providers a reasonable opportunity to provide feedback, following the disruption currently being caused by COVID-19.  A deferral will also allow EAP and NZCEL to be considered alongside changes to literacy and te reo matatini arising through the NCEA Change programme.
