Ngā Toi Māori Govenance Group

The review is being led by a Governance Group (GG) appointed based on their expertise and experience within the various arts disciplines targetted for this review.

They have confirmed that a new suite of qualifications will be developed under Mātauranga Māori and Evaluative Quality Assurance (MM EQA) which acknowledges that a distinctive approach is required in order to quality assure Mātauranga Māori qualifications, programmes and organisations.

Systematic and rigorous in its approach, MM EQA is based on the principles that are of value to and central to Māori, focused on mātauranga Māori outcomes, processes, philosophies and practises recognised on their merits.

The Governance Group wishes to encourage you to feedback your whakaaro on the proposed suite of qualifications. Adding a reason for your comment will be useful, especially if you disagree with aspects of the proposed suite of qualifications.
