The Exemption Process : A Ministry Perspective
MONDAY 14 JUNE 2010
at the Ministry of Education Offices
Level 3, Eden 5 Building, 12-18 Normanby Road, Mt Eden
To legally home educate in NZ, a parent/guardian must obtain a “Certificate of Exemption from Enrolment at a Registered School” for each child. This is not available or required before the child’s 6th birthday.
This Forum aims to clarify a process which can cause some anxious moments! Be guided through the application by the staff that deal with them so that you can write yours with confidence or help others to prepare theirs. Support groups may wish to consider sending a representative or two to be up-to-date with the current Ministry approach.
Obviously, staff will be unable to go through individual draft applications but it’s certainly an opportunity to ask questions.
