MR KAINE - The answer to the members question is as follows:
Articulation arrangements have existed for some time between the teaching Schools of the Institute and individual Secondary Colleges. These arrangements, which in many cases lead to advanced standing into Institute courses, are now being formalised on a system wide basis.
On 17 May, 1990 a Memorandum of Understanding was signed by the Secretary of the ACT Department of Education and the Director of the ACT Institute of TAFE. This Memorandum establishes principles and processes designed to enhance the articulation between secondary colleges and institute courses. A copy of this Memorandum has been sent separately to Mr Wood and is available to other members from the Institute.
In accord with the Memorandum a Joint Standing Panel has been established and is now working to clarify and formally register articulation arrangements that are operational. The register will be published as soon as available. The Panel will then consider the articulation of other College courses with Institute courses.
