Transformation Update

SLS and RTLB amalgamation

The Ministry of Education has started work to amalgamate the Supplementary Learning Support (SLS) service with the Resource Teacher: Learning and Behaviour (RTLB) service.

The Review of Special Education showed that the current special education system is too complex and fragmented. The amalgamated SLS and RTLB service will provide more unified, flexible and responsive support to students with learning and behaviour needs.

Discussion document

Read the discussion document and provide feedback.

Reference group

The Ministry will work with the sector on what the amalgamated service should look like. An education sector reference group will be formed – the group will be made up of representatives from the key education sector groups involved with SLS and RTLB.
