✨ Education Enrolment Policy

NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 93 — 31 AUGUST 2015

Ministry of Education

Eligibility to enrol

To be eligible for enrolment in an ECE programme at Te Kura, children must be:

a. domestic students(*3);

b. resident in New Zealand;

c. under the age of six;

d. not enrolled in a primary school, or about to be enrolled within the first two weeks of February that year;

e. meet the criteria for enrolment in either a full-time Te Kura ECE programme or a part-time Te Kura ECE programme; and

f. meet the criteria for a gateway where a place is available.

Criteria for enrolment in a full-time or part-time programme

Full-time programme

Children may be enrolled in a full-time Te Kura ECE programme where they are:

a. eligible to enrol in an ECE programme; and

b. not enrolled in a licensed ECE service for more than two four-hour sessions a week.

Part-time programme

Children may be enrolled in a part-time Te Kura ECE programme where:

a. they are eligible to enrol in an ECE programme;

b. they are fit the criteria for the Ministry of Education referral gateway; and

c. a place is available through that gateway.

A child ceases to be eligible for enrolment when age or changed circumstances mean that the gateway criteria under which they were enrolled are no longer met. Te Kura must check in a timely manner when the child is expected to start school to ensure that funding is not claimed in error.

Enrolment Categories, Gateways and Entry Criteria
