Abstract
ABSTRACT In New Zealand In 1990 legislation was passed which was designed to bring all post‐compulsory qualifications into one unified qualifications framework. Early responses to the work of the New Zealand Qualifications Authority which had been charged with the development of the fully unified framework were mixed and vociferous debate followed, particularly within the post‐compulsory sector. Following a discussion of the issues and obstacles (such as the threat to university autonomy and the difficulties of using one curriculum model for both academic and vocational programmes), recent attempted resolutions to these problems are described. Some of the implications for the New Zealand universities of a single unified framework are discussed and some parallels are drawn with policy developments currently affecting higher education institutions in the United Kingdom
