Outcome of review of University Entrance requirements 2016-2017
In 2016-2017, NZQA undertook a periodic review of the University Entrance requirements to ensure that the requirements remain relevant and fit-for-purpose.
Following extensive engagement and feedback from the sector, NZQA concluded that the current University Entrance requirements remain fit-for-purpose and should not be changed at this time.
There were two areas in which the review indicated that improvements could be considered:
- a process for the regular review and maintenance of the approved subjects list;
- review the list of standards that can be used to meet the literacy requirement.
Work on these two recommendations has been completed.
