Students may come to Alternative Education for a number of different reasons.
Administration and pastoral support staff, teachers, school managers, and boards of trustees of managing and enrolling schools play a critical role in the success of Alternative Education.
From 2011 the Ministry requires all providers to use registered teachers to provide pedagogical leadership and support to non-teacher tutors.
Some schools choose to work with a community provider to deliver an educational programme to meet the needs of Alternative Education students.
Getting the most out of schooling is important.
