The state’s education authority has found an eastern suburbs Jewish school does not comply with curriculum, teaching and governance rules | lucy_carroll
An eastern suburbs Jewish school is set to close after the state’s education authority recommended that its registration be cancelled for failing to meet curriculum and teaching standards.
Yeshiva College, which was established in 1956 as a Chabad-Lubavitch Jewish school, has about 60 students enrolled from kindergarten to year 10. Parents at the school contribute about $1500 a year in fees and other contributions. The state and federal governments provide about $18,000 in funding for each student.
“The decision to refuse and cancel the school’s registration is based on ongoing non-compliance with the requirements for school registration, namely issues relating to governance and curriculum,” a NESA spokesperson said. It is understood the NSW Minister for Education Sarah Mitchell will take steps to enact the recommendation.
“My lack of satisfaction that the school is complying with [registration] requirements means that I cannot be confident that students’ safety and welfare are not thereby being placed at risk,” she wrote. “The school’s failure to comply with the registration requirements in the areas of the minimum primary and secondary curriculum is serious because it indicates that its students are not receiving the education they are required, by law, to be given.
“The tribunal cannot be confident that the school’s current situation of having a high turnover of staff will change in the near to medium future,” Lucy wrote.
