New NQF Principles The New Zealand Qualifications Framework (NZQF) is designed to optimise the recognition of educational achievement and its contribution to New Zealand’s economic, social and cultural success. Hence the NZQF will list qualifications that: • convey the skills, knowledge and attributes a graduate has gained through completing a qualification • require the development of integrated and coherent qualifications • enable and support the provision of high-quality education pathways • enhance confidence in the quality and international comparability of New Zealand qualifications • contribute to the strengthening of Māori as a people by enhancing and advancing mātaurangaMāori • represent value for money, be sustainable and robust
