(1) No, each school community has the choice of whether to express an interest in becoming an Independent Public School.
(2) An independent selection panel recommends to the Director General of the Department of Education the schools which they determine to be ready to become Independent Public Schools, based on written expressions of interest and supported by the school community. It is not possible to predict how many more schools will submit an expression of interest for 2013, and how many schools the independent selection panel will recommend to the Director General to become Independent Public Schools.
