Draft Exemption Application | Home Education Foundation

Thank you for your recent email/s concerning improvements to the application form and information pack provided to people seeking an exemption from enrolment at school under section 21 of the Education Act 1989. Some of you have expressed concern regarding these proposed improvements.

Any changes proposed are intended to make the process easier for applicants and to hasten the process of applying. This is something that homeschoolers have requested and is also based on Ministry of Education experience in processing applications.

There is no policy change nor a policy review. Neither is there any intention to change policy through this process. Changes are being proposed for administrative clarity or to provide information, and apply only to new applications.

Attached is a draft of the application pack. This draft has been reformatted and reworded in part, to clarify for applicants what should be included in an application. To assist you, proposed changes are shown underlined, with explanatory comment in bold italics. Some changes have been made to the formatting to make the pack easier to read. These changes have not been noted.

Should you have any suggestions to improve the clarity of the form and pack, please make these known to a homeschooling organisation with which you are associated. We will be seeking collective collated feedback from each of those organisations by Friday 27 August. As there are many homeschooling organisations expressing very diverse views, you will understand that it may not be possible to accept all your suggestions

Thank you for your interest in this matter.

Yours sincerely
Kay Phillips

Hi Barbara,

Thank you!
