MHE Submission Re: Draft Exemption Application

SUBMISSION OF
MANAWATU HOME EDUCATORS INCORPORATED
TO THE
MINISTRY OF EDUCATIONON
DRAFT CHANGES TO ITS DESK FILE WHICH ESTABLISHES PROCEDURES FOR MOE STAFF DEALING WITH APPLICATIONS FOR EXEMPTION FROM THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 20 OF THE EDUCATION ACT 1989.The Manawatu Home Educators (MHE) would like to endorse the two submissions below.

MHE does not belong to either of the groups, The Home Education Foundation or the National Council of Home Educators. We have no intention of belonging to either group in the future. We are an autonomous group within the Manawatu region.

In this respect when an exemption form is being sent out from the central region of the MOE (that is the Lower Hutt Office) we would like the have our contacts added along with the National groups.

The Manawatu Home Educators
P O Box 9064
Palmerston North
Phone: (06) 354-7699
Or (06) 355-2368

We believe another organisation that should be added to the National lists because it is a National Lending Library to Home Educators is:

Dayspring
P O Box 9064
Palmerston North
Phone: (06) 355-2368
Or (and Kirby’s number)

The Manawatu Home Educators is happy to meet with officials to further discuss the submission should this be necessary.
