Terms of Reference for Expert Group Assessment (EGA)
Introduction
The New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) is responsible for the assessment of
external achievement standards and the quality assurance of the National Certificate of
Education Achievement (NCEA). It has been some time since the last review of achievement
standards and there have been several enhancements and policy changes that have been
implemented since then. The NCEA Review is also an important opportunity to consider
emerging trends in assessment and current assessment policies and systems that support
assessment practice.
Role and purpose
Released
To support NZQA through the provision of advice on any changes needed to improve the
assessment, the EGA will:
o
consider the current and emerging trends in assessment results, processes and
under
their influence on learning;
o
provide technical advice to ensure that assessment systems and policies are
adapted and developed to support high quality qualifications;

contribute to the Ministry’s planned review of achievement standards.
Information
Scope
Act
The EGA will have a focus on all assessment trends for internal and external assessment
across all levels of achievement.
1982
Whilst the EGA will primarily provide technical assessment advice, it will also consider:
o
relevant assessment policies;
o
development of quality assurance arrangements; and
o
matters to be considered in the achievement standards review.
The NCEA Review and the 2019 Achievement Standards Review are significant
interdependencies and the EGA may provide advice on assessment matters that inform the
review of achievement standards and that support the implementation of any changes
arising from the review of NCEA.
7
<
Background
The Ministry is responsible for developing the achievement standards and determining the
appropriate mode of assessment. Approximately two thirds of all achievement standards are
currently internally assessed and the remaining third are externally assessed.
NZQA is responsible for the quality assurance of achievement standards. It quality assures
internally assessed standards by checking schools’ internal moderation processes through
the Managing National Assessment (MNA) reviews. NZQA also moderates a sample of graded
student work in each school.
Composition of the group
Released
The EGA will have 8 – 9 external members with significant technical assessment expertise.
It will be chaired by Professor Gary Hawke, Chair of NZQA Technical Overview Group
Assessment (TOGA). Senior staff from NZQA and Ministry will also be in attendance.

Meeting frequency and duration of the project
