Hapū/Iwi advisors *All of the Qualifications at Levels 3, 4, and 6 are stranded. Page |2 Hei Whakamārama The proposed Toi Māori qualifications at Levels 1-3 focus on the foundation skills necessary to ensure successful study of Toi Māori in a hapu/iwi context and at the Tertiary level. The specific skills, knowledge, attributes and competencies for each of the strands within the qualifications will be expressed in more detail in the draft qualifications that will be distributed during the second consultation phase. Toi Te Tuhura (Level 1 and 2) Feedback from the initial review analysis offers no convincing evidence of a need for Toi Māori qualifications at these levels. However, there was support for the development or maintenance of individual assessment standards that can be utilised within secondary schools in support of the attainment of NCEA. The analysis took into account the development of achievement standards for Nga Toi within Te Marautanga o Aotearoa, however, it was identified that the point of difference of assessment standards is in the preparation of students for further learning pathways aligned to the Ngā Toi Māori qualifications. Toi Ariki (Level 3) Findings from the review, analysis, and survey identify a need for an introductory level qualification that provides a foundation for learners who have not engaged in academic study or who are considering Ngā Toi Māori as a possible career option. At this level learners are able to assess whether they have the ability to build their skills and knowledge and to progress within the Ngā Toi Māori sector. Some survey respondents identified Ngā Toi Māori as a viable option for learning skills and knowledge of tikanga and āhuatanga Māori, while for some the opportunity to learn the language and customs of whānau, hapū and iwi and cultural identity coupled with learning a specific kaupapa Toi were considered as important outcomes that could be attained through this kaupapa. These outcomes could align with hapū/Iwi development plans. The qualification will have as its basis basic skills and knowledge in the exploration, creation, knowledge and appreciation of Ngā Toi Māori. The qualification is made up of the following kaupapa at a basic to intermediate level: understanding of basic tikanga Māori as it applies to Ngā Toi Māori Kupu, korero, and reo associated with Ngā Toi Māori knowledge of media and hands-on process development processes when making or performing the selected mahi Toi basic research processes basic safe practice. Page |3 Toi Urutapu (Level 4) The proposed qualifications at Levels 4 and 6 are stranded and focus on extending knowledge and skills in specific areas of Ngā Toi. Qualifications at these levels also include a practical/project component that will contribute towards 30%, and 50% of the credits for the qualification at levels 4, and 6 respectively. The review process and analysis supported the maintenance of a qualification at Level 4 which will pathway from the Level 3 qualification in the development of the learner’s skills and knowledge in the exploration and presentation of ideas, design processes and the production or performance of the specific kaupapa Toi. At this stage it is expected that learners have chosen to enter into higher level study of Ngā Toi Māori - this being the case – the level 4 qualification serves as an entry level qualification to the Level 6 qualifications. Some learners may opt to seek work on completion of this qualification. For learners whose primary interest is in Māori Performing Arts (MPA), this will be a possible exit point given that the MPA strand culminates in the acquisition of skills and knowledge in performance. Proposed New Zealand Certificate in Ngā Toi Māori (Level 4) Whanaungatanga Kaitiakitanga / Manaakitanga Rangatiratanga Te Reo me ngā Tikanga Pukengatanga Tūrangawaewae Toi Ururangi (Level 5) No evidence from the literature review or needs analysis identified a distinct need for Ngā Toi Māori qualifications at Level 5. Toi Ururoa (Level 6) The review process identified thirteen Level 6 qualifications currently in scope of this review. Uptake of these qualifications across three of the four targetted areas of Whakairo, Nga Mahi a Te Whare Pora and Toi Ataata noted a steady decline in uptake with one area having no qualifications completions since 2010. In contrast the Maori Performing Arts qualification has recorded steady uptake and qualifications completions since 2010 and indications from survey participants and the governance groups are that this trend will continue. The decision to offer a qualification offering a core group of essential skills and the option to choose a specific strand of the Ngā Toi Māori suite e.g. Ngā Mahi a Te Whare Pora, Whakairo, Toi Ataata or Māori Performing Arts addresses issues of low uptake and duplication. The stranded option also means that all four Ngā Toi areas are maintained and options made available for learners to progress to other strands of the qualification without the need to complete the core components of the qualification.
