Statutory actions
This page lists NZQA’s current statutory actions.
Each statutory action listed includes a summary of the action and its current status. The actions are listed alphabetically by the tertiary education organisation’s (TEO’s) legal name.
Some actions remain on this page longer than others. Please check the sections below for more details.
What are statutory actions?
Statutory actions are actions taken in accordance with the provisions of the Education and Training Act 2020 (the Act).
When a non-university TEO or Code signatory is not compliant with the Act, NZQA Rules (made under section 452 of the Act), and/or the Education (Pastoral Care of International Students) Code of Practice 2016 (the Code), NZQA has the legal power to use a range of statutory actions where relevant and applicable.
Wherever possible, NZQA works informally with the organisation in the first instance to address the identified non-compliance, for example, by way of a reminder, formal letter, or request for an action plan.
If an informal approach is unsuccessful, or the non-compliance is more serious or poses an immediate risk to students or the public, the case may be escalated to a statutory action.
What kind of statutory actions does NZQA use?
The different statutory actions NZQA uses, and how long they will remain on this page, are listed below:
Type | Explanation | Length of time on this page |
---|---|---|
Compliance notice | Directs the organisation to do (or refrain from doing) something specific Example: ensure that the organisation’s student files are accurate and complete by a given date |
From when the compliance notice is issued to when it is closed (removed a maximum of five working days after it is closed) |
Conditions imposed | Specify constraints that the organisation will be subject to; can be time-bound or indefinite Example: submit extra assessment materials for moderation and demonstrate improved moderation results, or (for Code signatories) stop enrolling new international students |
From when the condition is imposed, to when it is revoked (removed a maximum of five working days after it is revoked) |
Withdrawal | Withdrawal of consent to assess against standards, training scheme approval, programme approval or programme accreditation | For six months after the notice is issued |
Removal of Code signatory status | Prevents the Code signatory from enrolling any new international students, or continuing to have its existing international students enrolled | For six months after the notice is issued |
Cancellation of registration (private training establishments only) | Removal of a private training establishment’s registration | For six months after the notice is issued |
