Notas

  • The pages read say a parent must register with the Department of Education and that the director of education accepts completed applications and issues a registration certificate. They do not state whether registration is a notification or an approval, so the category is to be verified against the School Education Act 1999.
  • Section 9 of the School Education Act 1999 requires a child to be enrolled in an educational programme for each year of the compulsory education period, and a parent must ensure this. Section 10 treats the duty as met by enrolment at a school or by the parent's registration as home educator.
