Deadline: 6th March 2023
Education Law Review
The Committee for Education, Sport & Culture (Education) are looking for your views on their proposals for an Education Law.
The current Law commenced in 1970 but its roots are much older and many of the descriptions and wording in it are not relevant or appropriate for today’s education system. The review of the Education Law has considered what is needed in Guernsey and Alderney and how education legislation has been updated across other jurisdictions, particularly the other parts of the British Isles.
Education is looking for feedback in a questionnaire which highlights areas of change that might be proposed for the new Law. It focuses on those areas which might see the greatest change or those which would be of interest to the wider community rather than asking about every aspect of the Law.
Some terms and abbreviations are used as part of the questionnaire. Education has provided a short definition/explanation of these to help ensure there is a common understanding. This list together with other information on the States website can be accessed clicking the button below.
Responses to Consultaion
Education wants anyone interested to complete an online questionnaire which can be accessed through the button below. They have not provided a draft of the law or other document for you to read so all the required information should be in the questionnaire or in the definitions provided on their website mentioned above.
You can access the questionnaire by clicking on the button below. Completed forms must be submitted by 6th March 2023.
If you want to make other comments that are not in the questionnaire you can do so by emailing educationsportandculture@gov.gg by the 6th March.
