The TEFANZ Executive was invited to provide feedback on the proposal by the Minister of Education to shift responsibility for ITE programme approvals and review away from the Teaching Council to the Ministry of Education. This was so the Minister could have more direct control over ITE programmes and push developments in education more quickly in the direction that she has determined in best for NZ.
TEFANZ fundamentally disagrees with this proposal and made an oral and written submission stating our objections. You can download the submission from Other Resources.
