Code of Practice for Tertiary Students with Impairments

Kia Orite, Achieving Equity: The New Zealand Code of Practice for an Inclusive Tertiary Education Environment for Students with Impairments supports one of the key contributions of the tertiary education system as outlined in the Tertiary Education Strategy 2007/12 - "success for all New Zealanders through lifelong learning", and, in particular, the focus on "ensuring maximum educational opportunity for all New Zealanders".

The Ministry of Education and the Tertiary Education Commission supported the development of this Code of Practice by the tertiary education sector. It is expected that the Code will inform the activities of both tertiary education organisations and the Tertiary Education Commission in identifying, understanding and responding to the diverse needs of students with impairments.
