NZQA Māori Qualifications Services have completed a review of the unit standards listed above. The Ministry of Education has developed new Tikanga-ā-Iwi achievement standards and has revised some of the Social Sciences achievement standards to show that the outcomes they recognise also relate to Te Marautanga o Aotearoa.
New Registration date December 2013
Date new versions published December 2013
Planned review date 31 December 2016
Summary of review and consultation process
In 2010 the Ministry of Education, in association with the New Zealand Qualifications Authority and subject working groups, began to develop achievement standards derived from outcomes in Te Marautanga o Aotearoa (TMoA). This development also addressed duplication of outcomes, credit parity, fairness, consistency and coherence. The development was guided by the direction of Te Marautanga o Aotearoa and the Standards Review Guidelines. A copy of TMoA is available at: http://tmoa.tki.org.nz/Nga-Marautanga-o-Aotearoa/Te-Marautanga-o-Aotearoa
Teacher subject working groups were involved in the development, and draft achievement standards were the focus of wide consultation, especially with wharekura (secondary programmes in Māori-medium schools) and kaiako (teachers). Resources were also developed to support these standards.
The review of unit standards included the assessment of continued relevance and likely future use of the standards. Unit standards without the likelihood of future tertiary use were recommended for expiry.
Achievement standards in Economics, Geography, History, and Social Studies that also meet the Whāinga Paetae of TMoA were revised to include a note to this effect.
The development of these Level 1 achievement standards was completed in time for implementation in schools in 2014.
Main changes
· All TMoA Level 6 (NZQF Level 1) outcomes are now assessed using achievement standards (there are no longer any unit standards linked to TMoA).
· Grading criteria for achievement standards were reviewed in accordance with the Standards Review Guidelines.
· Seven new standards were created for Tikanga ā-Iwi that align to TMoA outcomes.
· 20 Social Sciences achievement standards were revised to indicate that they also align with TMoA achievement objectives.
· Two Level 1 General Education Māori > Tikanga-ā-Iwi unit standards that had minimal usage were reviewed and designated expiring (see table below).
· General Education Māori > Tikanga-ā-Iwi unit standards at Levels 2 and 3 were re-classified so they may continue to be used in tertiary education programmes.
For a detailed description of the new Tikanga ā-Iwi standards see the appendix at the end of this report.

Development of Tikanga ā-Iwi Level 1 Achievement Standards
Process of aligning standards with Te Marautanga o Aotearoa (TMoA)
The Level 1 Tikanga ā-Iwi achievement standards were developed to align the outcomes with the Level 6 Te Whakaritenga Pāpori me te Ahurea (Social Organisation and Culture), Te Wāhi me te Taiao (Place and Environment), Te Ao Hurihuri (The Changing World) and Ngā Mahinga Ohaoha (The Economic World) strands of the Tikanga ā-Iwi learning area of TMoA.
The process of aligning achievement standards with TMoA was informed by a series of audits across all learning areas conducted by Māori-medium subject specialists. The audit of the current unit standards against the Tikanga ā-Iwi learning area of TMoA found that:
· the current standards do not reflect the current whāinga paetae; and
· a range of new standards is required to address key learning at each level.
A specialist Tikanga ā-Iwi writing panel, consisting of subject specialists working in Wharekura and Kaupapa Māori organisations was convened by the Ministry of Education to develop the new suite of standards based on the whāinga paetae in TMoA.
The focus of the Tikanga ā-Iwi standards is to acknowledge Tikanga ā-Iwi, be it Tikanga ā-Waikato, Tikanga ā-Tuhoe, and so forth. They allow and acknowledge the differences and similarities among tribal groups and indigenous peoples. The standards are not narrowly aligned to a single strand; rather the strands are intertwined and interrelated in the standards as they should be in teaching and learning programmes.
Conditions of Assessment have been developed to assist in the interpretation of achievement standards and the development of teaching and learning programmes
Addressing Duplication
The achievement standards were compared in detail with unit standards and with English-medium achievement standards to avoid duplication. Where duplication of outcomes was identified the unit standard was recommended for expiry.
Where Social Sciences achievement standards were found to align with the TMoA Whāinga Paetae, they were revised to include a note to this effect.
Addressing Credit Parity
The credits allocated to the standards reflect the time required for the teaching and learning involved.
External and Internal Assessment
The method of assessment for each standard best reflects the teaching and learning involved for each standard.
Internal assessment was considered the most appropriate medium for all the Tikanga-ā-Iwi standards.
