The Toi Mai Workforce Development Council has completed the revision of the unit standards listed above.

Date new versions published                                                               July 2022

Planned review date for 26687 and 27703 (no change)                     December 2025

Summary

Toi Mai Workforce Development Council received feedback from the music education sector that the last review of these standards did not adequately address their needs and as result the new versions and replacement standards do not allow for a broad range of sound/music contexts to be used.  An industry survey in May-June 2022 showed there was wide-spread support within schools for Toi Mai to extend the last date of assessment for the previous versions of the above standards.  This would allow time for Toi Mai to review the standards or for an alternate solution to be developed that will meet the sector’s needs.

Main changes

· The last dates for assessment of superseded version 4 of standards 26687 and 27703 have been extended from 31 December 2022 to 31 December 2024.

· The last date for assessment of expiring standard 28007 has been extended from 31 December 2022 to 31 December 2024.

· The SSB responsible for these standards was updated from Skills Active Aotearoa to Toi Mai Workforce Development Council.
