Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act 1982 of 3
March 2020 seeking the following information:

 

How many complaints on average per year under the Education (Pastoral Care
of International Students) Code of Practice 2016 does NZQA investigate in
its role as the Code Administrator?

 

Is NZQA investigating the University of Auckland's compliance with the
Education (Pastoral Care of International Students) Code of Practice 2016,
in light of its recent expulsion of an international student facing mental
health difficulties?

 

You can expect to receive a response to your request on or before 31 March
2020. You will be contacted again if there is a likelihood that this
timeframe cannot be met.

 

As you may know requests for official information become official
information once received.  As part of the processing of requests for
official information, NZQA may need to consult with relevant third
parties.  During the consultation, a third party may ask for the identity
of the individual/organisation requesting the information. If you are an
individual making a request, please advise us whether or not you would
have an objection to disclosing your identity if a third party asks for
your identity, and the reasons for your objection.   

If you are an individual making a request on behalf of an organisation
please advise us both whether you personally have an objection to
disclosing your identity, and the reasons for your objection, as well as
any objection to identifying the organisation, together with reasons. NZQA
will consider your reasons and whether they fit with any withholding
grounds under the Privacy Act 1993 or the Official Information Act 1982.

 

For any enquiries about your request please contact
[1][email address].

 

If you are dissatisfied with our response, you have the right, under
section 28(3) of the Official Information Act 1982, to lodge a complaint
with the Office of the Ombudsman at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz. You can
also telephone 0800 802 502 or write to the Ombudsman at PO Box 10152,
Wellington, 6143.
