An invitation for your feedback
Earlier in 2024 the Teaching Council published its revised ITE Programme Approval, Monitoring, Review, and Moderation Policy (2024).
The Teaching Council has investigated the likely costs of delivering these services. The fees proposed in this consultation document reflect our estimate of the actual and reasonable costs of providing these services to ITE providers.
The consultation document sets out the rationale for the proposed fees and details those areas where fees will not be applied such as annual reporting and national moderation events plus proposed timeframes.
Separate mahi is underway about an equivalent policy for Māori medium ITE programmes. This consultation relates only to English medium programmes.
Read the consultation document.
The Teaching Council welcomes written or oral submissions. Please send written submissions and requests for oral submissions, or any questions about the consultation to: ITEconsultation@teachingcouncil.nz.
Some questions to consider
The following questions maybe be useful when supplying your feedback:
- Do you accept the rationale for the proposed fees? If not, why not? – please give details.
- Do you agree with the basis of the calculation of proposed new fees? If not, why not? – please give details.
- Do you have any suggestions for alternative ways of structuring, recovering, or reducing our costs?
- Will the special review fees potentially penalise those programmes and providers most at risk? If so, is that raising equity issues, and should some of the costs be shared by all providers?
- Any other comments?
What will we do with your feedback?
The Teaching Council will analyse and consider your feedback before making decisions on amendments to the policy. An analysis of the submissions will be published.
Please note: In order to comply with the Official Information Act (OIA), the Teaching Council is required to consider any request to release the submissions of this consultation under the OIA. While the Teaching Council must make the final decision on what should be released under the OIA, you can let us know if there are specific reasons why you would like your feedback to remain confidential, and we will consider those reasons before making a decision on any request.
