Alignment of standards with the New Zealand Curriculum - Consultation
The Ministry of Education has contracted Research New Zealand to carry out consultation with users of unit and achievement standards derived from the school curriculum. A significant programme has been conducted by the Ministry, with NZQA, to re-write these standards so that they align with the revised New Zealand Curriculum (2007), address parity issues and remove duplication.
Standards for each subject
The Ministry has contracted subject associations to provide a draft of the new matrix for the standards in each subject, along with a rationale for the changes proposed, and information on the changes proposed to existing curriculum derived unit and achievement standards. Note that NZQA unit standards that are not derived from the New Zealand Curriculum, and ITO standards, are not part of this process.
As well, for each subject there are draft standards at Level 1 for consultation, and conditions of assessment for internally assessed standards.
Literacy and Numeracy and NCEA certificate re-design
A concern has been raised by many respondents to date relating to the loss of some of the unit standards that have contributed to the literacy and numeracy requirements for the award of an NCEA. This consultation process includes specific proposals to re-design the NCEA Level 1 certificate and to introduce new unit standards to assess functional literacy and numeracy that would be aligned to the Adult Learning and Life Skills levels, at a notional curriculum level of 4/5.
Research New Zealand have set up a web site for online consultation. The link is: https://surveys.researchnz.com/NCEA/Registration.
We encourage online responses to be made, but paper submissions will also be accepted.
This consultation will close on 3rd July 2009, and feedback to the Ministry will be provided by the end of July.
Your response to the proposals is important. We encourage you to give reasons for your responses, because these provide a valuable context for the Ministry to consider how changes should be made to the draft standards. Subject associations will also receive copies of the feedback.
If you have any questions about the consultation, please contact
