The New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) has closed consultation on proposed changes to the New Zealand Qualifications and Credentials Framework (NZQCF) and its Rules.
43 submissions were received during the consultation, which ran from 3 October to 17 November.
“Our thanks to everyone who has taken the time to provide feedback and submissions” says Eve McMahon, NZQA Deputy Chief Executive, Quality Assurance.
“We have received some very thoughtful and informative responses and will now consider this feedback and use it to inform our decisions.”
NZQA will release a summary of the feedback on the proposed changes on its website before the end of the year.
Approval for any Rule changes will be sought in early 2025 and stakeholders would be informed before changes come into effect.
Both the Rule changes and updated information about the NZQCF will be published on the NZQA website in early 2025.
The proposed changes being considered were designed to ensure the NZQCF and Rules remain relevant, and to reflect changes in work and vocational education. Further information on these proposals can be found here:
