Summary of development/review and consultation process

The Tiaki Mokopuna (formerly Māori Worldview of Early Learning) qualifications were scheduled and triggered for review in 2025.

The NZQA website was updated signalling the review and published the Review Plan and Terms of Reference.  The Whakaruruhau Working Group (WWRG) members that participated in the review represented Early Learning registered teachers, industry, and tertiary providers who delivered programmes leading to the Tiaki Mokopuna qualifications.

The mandatory review ensures the qualifications are relevant, fit for purpose and meets the aspirations and needs of whānau, hapū, iwi and hapori.

Wider consultation for feedback and comments was conducted via the NZQA website for a duration of four weeks.
