Statutory Declaration

Unitec’s Statutory Declaration to NZQA

Every year, the Chief Executive of each tertiary education organisation is required to make a statutory declaration attesting that their organisation is compliant with certain sections of the Education and Training Act 2020 (formerly the Education Act 1989) and with Rules made under the Act.

The statutory declaration is supported by input from programme teams as well as central services such as Te Korowai Kahurangi, Tūāpapa Rangahau, and Academic Operations.

The bulk of the statutory declaration seeks assurance Unitec’s enrolment of students and delivery of its programmes and training schemes is compliant with legislated requirements. We achieve assurance through an attestation (in the form of a questionnaire) from each relevant Manager/Director.

Additional information about the statutory declaration is available on NZQA’s website: https://www.nzqa.govt.nz/providers-partners/qa-system-for-teos/statutory-declarations/
