That ICPA (Aust) continues to advocate to the Federal Government to create a RICS (Remuneration for the Isolated Classroom Supervisor) to acknowledge the role the Home Tutor performs when educating students through distance education.
The service provided by Home Tutors in the delivering of education to students in rural and remote Australia who have no choice but to be educated via the distance education mode of delivery needs be acknowledged. Home Tutors provide what the government simply cannot cost effectively supply and as such should be recognised and remunerated fairly.
This motion was left out last year and conjoined with others. We had great discussion on this and our branch considers that this is one of the biggest issues for ICPA and one of the reasons for its inception. We would still like to see momentum from ICPA in support of the RICS.
