SCHOOLS OF
ISOLATED AND DISTANCE EDUCATION — enrolment policy
332. Mr P. PAPALIA to the
Minister for Education:
I have a supplementary question. Is it not true that from
next year students who will turn 18 in the future cannot enrol at that school?
If they are going to turn 18 —
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER : I
will give you an opportunity to ask the supplementary question again without
interruption.
Mr P. PAPALIA : The
minister understands what I am saying.
Dr E. Constable :
No, I don't. Explain yourself.
Mr P. PAPALIA : The
minister did not let me interject and ask by way of interjection. This year it
is true; schools can retain students on the books if they turn 18 this year. In
the future, from next year, if someone is going to turn 18 in the year of their
training, schools are not allowed to enrol them.

enrolment.
