Targeted review of qualifications – what is it? A targeted review of qualifications at levels 1-6 was undertaken during 2009 which identified: qualification system was not understood by learners, parents, • employers and others too many qualifications and duplication • pathways to further education and employment not clear • high cost of developing qualifications •
Targeted review of Qualifications Led to the most significant changes to the qualifications system since the National Qualifications Framework was established in the early 1990s Changes include: • Simplifying the qualifications system-New Zealand Qualifications Framework • Ensuring qualifications are fit-for-purpose and relevant • Reducing the number of qualifications by removing duplication and proliferation
New Zealand qualifications - what has changed? Since late 2010 New Zealand qualifications have been replacing local provider and National qualifications at levels 1 – 6 • Qualifications based on industry or community workforce needs • Clear and structured graduate outcomes • Identified education and employment pathways • Qualifications are developed collaboratively • Flexible programmes to meet learner needs
What happens in a review? Pre-work • Gather information to determine sector workforce needs and skills • Stakeholder Profile • Determine governance and working structures Review phase 1 • Prepare and confirm a revised map or ‘suite of qualifications’ • Prepare new qualifications for pre-approval – to be “good enough” • Report on learning and the “story” of the decisions made to NZQA Review phase 2 • Complete qualification development
What a new qualification looks like • Qualification details e.g. Title, type, level, credits and NZSCEd etc • Strategic Purpose Statement • Outcome Statement e.g. Graduate profile, education and employment pathways • Specification – ensures there is sufficient information for programme developers to meet the graduate profile – differentiates mandatory and optional conditions for qualification and/or individual outcomes
