Mana Tohu Mātauranga o Aotearoa

Ko te **Mana Tohu Mātauranga o Aotearoa** (reo Ingarahi: New Zealand Qualifications Authority, **NZQA**) te rāngai kāwanatanga o Aotearoa e whakahaere ana i ngā aromatawai mātauranga me ngā tohu mātauranga. I whakatūria ai ia e te Ture Mātauranga 1989.

Ko te Mana Tohu e whakahaere ana i te Te Tohu Mātauranga ā-Motu mō te Aromātai (reo Ingarahi: National Certificate of Educational Achievement, **NCEA**) me te Te Tohu Karahipi o Aotearoa mā ngā ākonga kura tuarua. Kei a ia hoki te kawenga mō te whakaū kounga o ngā whare wānanga taioreore, o ngā kaiwhakarato whakangungu mātauranga matua, te Rēhita Tohu Kounga O Aotearoa, me te Anga Tohu Mātauranga o Aotearoa. He whai wāhi anō tāna ki te arotake i ngā tohu mātauranga o tāwāhi.

I te marama o Hūrae 1990 ka riro i a ia ngā mahi a te Poari Whakauru ki te Whare Wānanga i mua, ngā whakamātautau a te Tāhuhu o te Mātauranga, te Poari Tiwhikete Mahi, me te Mana mō ngā Tohu Ahumahi Matua.

Ka whiwhi pūtea te Mana Tohu mai i te kāwanatanga matua me ngā moni mai i ētahi atu, ā, i te tau 2022, he $80 miriona te rahinga o tana pūtea ā-tau.

## Whakahaere
I te tau 2023, ko Grant Klinkum te Kaiwhakahaere Matua, ko Alex Bidois, ko Utufa’asisili Rosemary Mose, ko Eve McMahon, ko Jann Marshall rāua ko Tim Bowron ōna kaiāwhina, ā, ko Tracey Martin te Heamana o te Poari o te NZQA.

## Rautaki Māori
Ko te rautaki Māori a te Mana Tohu, arā, Te Rautaki Māori 2012–2017, hei arataki i te Mana Tohu kia whai wāhi ki te whāinga a te kāwanatanga mō te rāngai mātauranga, kia ngahau, kia angitu ngā Māori i roto i te mātauranga, hei Māori tonu. I whakarewahia te rautaki i te marama o Hune 2012 me ngā whāinga matua e rua, ko te Whakaterenga i te Angitū Ākonga Māori me te Whakamahi Matua i te Mātauranga Māori.

Kua puta anō i te Mana Tohu ētahi pukapuka e tautoko ana i ēnei whāinga – ko ‘Enhancing Mātauranga Māori and Global Indigenous Knowledge’ (i whakarewahia i Āperira 2014) me te pukapuka i whakaputaina i mua atu, ko ‘Conversations on Mātauranga Māori’ (i whakarewahia i Hūrae 2012).

## Arotake
I tīmata te Arotake Whāinga i ngā Tohu (TRoQ) i ngā taumata 1–6 o te anga tohu mātauranga tekau taumata o Aotearoa i te tau 2008. Ko te whāinga o te arotake hei whakaū kia whaihua, kia hāngai ngā tohu mātauranga o Aotearoa ki ngā ākonga o nāianei, ki ngā ākonga o anamata, ki ngā kaituku mahi, me ētahi atu whai wāhi. Kei te whakahaere te Mana Tohu i te Anga Tohu Mātauranga o Aotearoa (NZQF) i whakatūria ai i Hūrae 2010 he hua o te Arotake Whāinga, ā, he rārangi whānui, he rārangi hou tēnei o ngā tohu kounga katoa o Aotearoa, hāunga ngā tohu whare wānanga.

Me uru ngā whakahaere mātauranga matua ki ngā kaupapa here ā-ture, pērā i te kaupapa here arotake ā-waho ā-wā (EER), e whakarato ana i tētahi whakatau motuhake mō te hiranga mātauranga me te kaha ki te arotake-a-karo o ngā whakahaere mātauranga matua katoa, hāunga ngā whare wānanga. I te tau 2011, i whakaurua e te Mana Tohu tētahi hōtaka whakaohooho me ngā rawa mō ngā kaiwhakarato, e ai ki ngā hua o te EER, hei whakapiki i te hiranga o te rāngai.

I te marama o Mei 2014, i whakaurua e te Mana Tohu te ‘Auahatanga i te Mana Tohu’ ki tana paetukutuku, e whakaatu ana i ngā whakaaro rautaki o te rāngai me te hōtaka mahi ‘Te Āhua o Anamata’ e pā ana ki te urupare ki tētahi ao matihiko, ao whānui hoki, me te whakamātautau i ngā tukanga hou me ngā hangarau.

## Tau
I te tau 2013, neke atu i te 143,000 ngā kaitono i uru ki ngā whakamātautau ā-tau o te NCEA me te Tohu Karahipi o Aotearoa i whakahaerehia e te Mana Tohu, ā, i tātaritia ngā hua whakatutuki i te Pūrongo-ā-tau mō te Raraunga me ngā Tatauranga o te NCEA me te Tohu karahipi o Aotearoa e whakaputaina ā-tau e te Mana Tohu.

I te tau 2016, neke atu i te 146,000 ngā kaitono i noho i ngā whakamātautau NCEA me Karahipi. Nā te rū whenua o Kaikōura, ka whakatūpouhia ngā whakamātautau karahipi. Kāore i taea e ngā ākonga o ngā takiwā o Hurunui me Kaikōura te haere ki ā rātou whakamātautau i te mea kua kati ō rātou kura, nā reira me whakamahi ā rātou tohu i tāria mai.

## Ngā Tautohe
I te tau 2005, i wehe ngā tūnga o te Heamana me te Kaiwhakahaere Matua o te Mana i muri i tētahi tūhuratanga a te Komihana O Ngā Tari Kāwanatanga mō ngā whakamātautau Tohu Karahipi o Aotearoa 2004. I ngā whakamātautau pūkaha, 39 noa iho o ngā ākonga 1,012 i noho i te whakamātautau te mea i whiwhi tohu, ā, i te reo Ingarihi, 228 o te 587. I kīia tēnei, me te āhuatanga o te Mana i taua wā, e ngā pāpāho he "pororaru".

## Ngā Āwangawanga mō ngā Whakamātautau
I te tau 2016, i puta ētahi hapa i roto i te whakamātautau pāngarau 2016 i ia taumata.

I te tau 2017, he maha ngā ākonga me ngā kaiako i pōkaikaha i ngā whakamātautau ā-waho o te NCEA Taumata 1 MCAT (he mahi aromatawai pāngarau noa), me te kī "he tino uaua rawa" me te kī "kāore i te taumata tika". I kī te Mana Tohu e whai whakapono nui ana rātou ki ā rātou pepa, engari kua tono te minita kia arotakea.
