Te Kura prepared to be country’s first COOL
12 May 2017
Te Kura is closer to becoming New Zealand’s first Community of Online Learning with the passing of the Education (Update) Amendment Bill’s third and final reading in Parliament. As New Zealand’s state distance education provider, Te Kura is well prepared for the transition and welcomes being a school that students can choose to enrol with. Te Kura Board Chair Dame Karen Sewell says, “To provide learning to all who need it we need to create new ways to learn and new skills, outside traditional learning spaces. High quality online learning uses technology as a tool to help provide learning programmes that address learner’s personal needs. It’s a medium, it doesn’t guarantee learning, that’s where the overall education approach is crucial and Te Kura delivers that.
