What does the new Code mean to schools?
As indicated in the September Code News, there are no changes in the new Code to existing requirements for schools in New Zealand that enrol international students.
However, existing requirements for schools have different outcome and clause numbers in the new Code. As a result, schools will likely need to update some documentation, such as policies, processes and contracts, to ensure they refer correctly to the new Code clauses.
To help you identify those changes, NZQA has published a tool to help schools map the existing international Code to the new Code.
