Financial Capability unit standards
Current
July 2021 – Review of Financial Capability unit standards
In July 2020 a review panel comprising of representatives from secondary schools, Te Ara Ahunga Ora Retirement Commission, the Young Enterprise Trust and the Skills Organisation was convened to review the standards.
The panel identified the need to streamline the matrix and ensure all standards were providing fair and consistent performance criteria. National consultation on the draft standards was conducted throughout September and October 2020 via the NZQA website.
Main changes
The main changes, in addition to amended titles and credits include:
- updating legislation and guidance information expiring US24699 and US28102 9 (due to low usage and outcomes overlapping with other related standards).
- replacing the current Level 3 unit standard 28101 with a new single outcome standard and providing graded achievement criteria. Unit standard 28101 is proposed to expire.
- consolidating the matrix “themes” down from six to five; Managing money, Setting goals, Credit and debt, Saving and investing, Insurance and risk.
Details are available in the September 2021 Review of Financial Capability unit standards change report
The next review of Financial Capability unit standards is scheduled for 2025.
