“That ICPA (Aust) supports all State Councils in their efforts towards the creation and implementation of a state government funded allowance for distance education supervisors.”
For many years Federal Council have been working tirelessly in their efforts to see a federally funded allowance for distance education tutors/supervisors be created. Despite their efforts, there has been little headway made, with the feedback from the Federal Government often indicating because education is the responsibility of states, then the funding of such an allowance should also be the responsibility of the state.
With thoughtful consideration and discussions between Federal Council and all State Councils it was decided that perhaps it was time to shift the focus away from a federally funded allowance and have State Councils begin their campaign for the creation of an allowance that would support families who are employing a supervisor for their distance education classroom and their students.
With the guidance and support of Federal Council and a strong advocacy campaign from the states, there is a very real possibility that an allowance of this nature can be implemented by state education departments across country.
