✨ Education Policy and Enrolment Criteria
NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 93 — 31 AUGUST 2015
Referral
Ministry of Education
The child does not fit any other ECE gateway and is Government referred by the Ministry of Education at its discretion as funded part of Government’s Better Public Service ECE goal to increase participation in ECE.
The Ministry of Education is the referral agency and all referrals must be signed off by a Ministry manager (or their delegate), who must be satisfied that:
(a) the child’s family/whānau faces multiple barriers (eg, transport and cultural barriers) in accessing a local face-to-face ECE service that meets their needs; and/or
(b) there is a high probability that without access to Te Kura, the child will have no, or less than optimal, access to ECE.
The Ministry referral letter must:
(a) clearly state how the child’s enrolment in Te Kura meets these criteria and the Better Public Service ECE goal; and
(b) set a date for Ministry review to ascertain whether the enrolment in ECE by distance education is still required for the child.
Section 2—Adult and Young Adult Students
Eligibility to enrol
Students may be enrolled with Te Kura as an adult student, or as a young adult student, where they are:
