Section 4
Dual Tuition
Authority
Section 158 of the Education Act 1989 (the Act) provides that, by agreement between the boards concerned, students enrolled at one state or state integrated school may receive tuition at or from another. The board of the school at which the students are enrolled may pay the board of the school giving that tuition for that tuition.
Section 7A of the Act further provides that students of registered private schools may receive tuition from a correspondence school subject to the appropriate fee, if any, prescribed by the board with the Minister of Education’s consent.
Eligibility
Schools may register Year 1-13 domestic students(^2) with The Correspondence School for supplementary government funded dual tuition where the entry criteria for one of the registration gateways set by the attached schedules are met.(^3)
This supplementary dual tuition is additional government resourcing to that provided school’s through operations monies and staffing entitlements, or to registered private schools through the per student subsidy.
The supplementary dual tuition is for curriculum adaptation and for curriculum capability purposes. The curriculum adaptation categories cover circumstances where a student’s home school is unable to provide the required specialist programming or curriculum adaptation. The curriculum capability categories are to enable, generally smaller schools, to provide a full and balanced curriculum.
Accountabilities
The school at which the students are enrolled retains all legislative accountabilities, including for attendance, while its students are registered for supplementary government funded dual tuition from TCS.
All supplementary government funded dual tuition arrangements are subject to a Service Level Agreement (SLA) being in place between the registering school and The Correspondence School.
The SLA defines the tuition, supervision and support responsibilities of both parties and the circumstances in which these dual tuition arrangements may be terminated by TCS.
(^2) Refer Ministry of Education Circular 2009/01- Eligibility for enrolment in New Zealand Schools
(^3) Non-domestic students on approved cultural exchanges to N.Z. as defined by Ministry of Education Circular 2009/01 are exempt this requirement.
