NZQA National Qualifications Services (NQS) has completed the review of the unit
standards listed above.
Date new versions published
June 2011
Summary
In 2007, discussion was held between NQS and the Sports, Fitness and Recreation
Industry Training Organisation (Skills Active Aotearoa) as to the appropriateness of NQS
setting standards in subfield Sports Education.
Following discussion it was agreed that these standards should be considered alongside
the review of New Zealand Curriculum derived achievement standards within domain
Physical Education to ensure there was no overlap. Once that was established, a transfer
of responsibility from NQS to Skills Active could be considered.
As the review of New Zealand Curriculum derived achievement standards progressed, it
became apparent that there was significant overlap between standards in domain Sports
Skills and New Zealand Curriculum derived achievement standards within domain Physical
Education.
In October 2010 NQS wrote to Skills Active Aotearoa advising of the intention to expire
unit standards in domain Sports Skills and seeking consideration of the transfer of
standard setting responsibility for standards in domain Sports Practice. Skills Active
showed no interest in the transfer of responsibility.
