Approval to form system refused
Where the Board's Registration Committee has recommended to the Minister that approval to form a system of non-governemnt schools be refused, an applicant may request an internal review of the decision.
An applicant or approved authority for a system of non-government schools may request an internal review of a Board of Studies Registration Committee recommendation where the Board's Registration Committee has recommended to the Minister that the approval to form a system of non-government schools be refused.
The outcome of an internal review is determined by the full Board of Studies. The review process is undertaken by two Board Inspectors who were not substantially involved in making the original recommendation. The documentation considered by the review Inspectors includes that submitted by the applicant or approved authority previously and any additional documentation that the applicant or approved authority wishes to have considered, the Board of Studies Registration Committee's decision and the reasons for that decision.
An internal review report is prepared by the Board Inspectors.
In dealing with an internal review of a recommendation by the Board of Studies Registration Committee to the Minister to refuse approval of a system of non-government schools, the full Board of Studies will consider any written comments from the applicant or approved authority in relation to the Board of Studies Registration Committee's decision, the Registration Committee's recommendation and the reasons for that recommendation and the internal review report prepared by the Inspectors.
There is no recourse to the Administrative Decisions Tribunal against the recommendations made by the Registration Committee of the Board of Studies or to the Board, following an internal review, or in relation to a decision by the Minister to refuse approval of a system of non-government schools.
