Uptake of transition plans as per the Education and Training Act 2020

Donnelle Cheree made this Official Information request to Ministry of Education

Ministry of Education did not have the information requested.

From: Donnelle Cheree

Dear Ministry of Education,

Section 42 of the Education and Training Act enables a student’s parent (or full-time caregiver where appropriate), their principal and the Secretary for Education to agree to vary hours as part of a transitional attendance plan when the particular needs of the student require this. The plan can be for no more than six months duration but can be renewed once only for a further period of up to six months.

1) How many students, per month, have had an "initial" transition plan back to full-time attendance, since August 2020?

2) How many students, per month, have had their transition plan renewed, since (six months after) August 2020?

3) How many students have been granted a "initial" transition plan of six months, more than once? (part-time, full-time, part-time.)

4) How many students, per month, have been granted an exemption to allow part-time attendance for longer than 12 months?

Yours faithfully,

Donnelle Cheree.

Thank you for your email of 8 September 2022 to the Ministry of Education
requesting the following information:

 

1) How many students, per month, have had an "initial" transition plan
back to full-time attendance, since August 2020?

 

2) How many students, per month, have had their transition plan renewed,
since (six months after) August 2020?

 

3) How many students have been granted a "initial" transition plan of six
months, more than once? (part-time, full-time, part-time.)

 

4) How many students, per month, have been granted an exemption to allow
part-time attendance for longer than 12 months?

 

Your request has been considered under the Official Information Act 1982
(the Act).

 

This information is not held in a central system. Regional Offices have
the responsibility to agree transition plans with the parents and school
principal.

 

Your request has therefore been refused under section 18(g) as that the
information you have requested is not held by the Ministry and we have no
grounds for believing that the information is held by another agency
subject to the Act.

Thank you again for your email. You have the right to ask an Ombudsman to
review this decision. You can do this by writing to
[2][email address] or Office of the Ombudsman, PO Box 10152,
Wellington 6143.
