Consultation on the Education and Training Bill
You may not be aware that this Bill replaces the Education Act. It is particularly important that you understand the proposed changes and consider making a submission. The Bill is huge with 621 clauses however the section dealing with provision for primary and secondary schooling is Part 3 of the Bill. Much of the Bill is unchanged from the Act. The best way to appraise yourself of the proposed changes is to review this summary.
Submissions must be made by 14 February and can be made here.
NZPF will make a submission on your behalf and we will share this with you in due course. Should you feel strongly about any aspect of the proposed changes then please contact me directly as your perspective will assist us in developing depth and breath as we frame our submission.
