Dear Ministry of Education,

Dear Cynthia Hancox-
Thank you for bringing my attention to this - I wasn't aware of two different exemptions under two different sections. I was indeed interested in those exemptions covered by Section 38, so I will now submit another OIA request. Thanks again.

Regarding Cynthia's point above, it turns out that the numbers in this request are for Section 38 Long-Term Exemptions from Enrolment; the Ministry used the wrong title in their response. See the full details in their response to: https://fyi.org.nz/request/17052-section...
Things to do with this request
- Add an annotation (to help the requester or others)
- Download a zip file of all correspondence

The information the Ministry has provided are on Early Leaving Exemptions only, which are only for 15 yos who wish to leave school (Section 39 exemptions). They do not include long term exemptions from enrolment (Section 38 homeschooling exemptions). Is this what the requester wanted?
