Monitoring
Schools receiving Gateway funding must achieve the targets specified in Condition GAT027[1].
There are also minimum achievement levels in place for Gateway in 2012. They are:
- the average level of achievement per learner is at least 10 credits on the NZQF[2]
- that an average occupancy level of at least 75% over the duration of the calendar year is achieved.
If the number of learners in workplace learning at the end of term two of the school year is significantly fewer than the number approved in the Investment Plan, we may require a change to the Plan, reducing the target number of placements and the maximum amount of funding payable.
Failure to achieve the minimum achievement levels for Gateway in 2012 may have implications for future funding.
We monitor delivery of Gateway funded programmes as set out in Rule MOR113[3], through:
- the number of learners
- individual learning plans
- acquisition of qualifications, or credits towards them, by learners
- achievement of employment and further training outcomes by learners
- participation of Māori and Pacific learners
- any other matter or aspect of Gateway provision that we reasonably consider relevant.
The requirements for reporting and record keeping are detailed in the Gateway Handbook.
