what is distance education?
The NSW Department of Education and Training
provides distance education programs for students who are
resident in NSW who are isolated or whose special circumstances
prevent them from attending school on a regular basis. It also
provides eligible students with access to curriculum to meet
Department of Education and Training mandatory requirements and
Board of Studies minimum requirements for the award of a School
Certificate or Higher School Certificate.
Provision
Although distance education was traditionally
established for students from geographically isolated areas, it
now caters for a much broader group of students. NSW Distance
Education is provided from pre-school to Year 12 for
students aged up to 18 years when enrolling.
