titleWhat is the Youth Participation Database (YPD) and why is is needed?

YPD is a database tracking Tasmanian people through their Approved Learning Plans and ensuring they are meeting the requirements of the act.

This covers students enrolled in;

  • year 10

  • year 11

  • year 12

Changes to the Education Act 2016 (Tas)

In 2020 changes to the Tasmanian Education Act 2016 came into effect requiring young people to participate in education or training (Approved Learning Program) until they complete

  • year 12, 

  • a Certificate III or until they turn 18 years of age unless they have an exemption granted based on full-time employment,

  • or other specific individual circumstances.

From the 1 January 2020, young people who have completed Year 10 are required to participate in an Approved Learning Plan (ALP) of education and/or training unless they are home educated, have an approval for part-time attendance or have an exemption. 

Schools can no longer unenroll a student under the age of 18 without knowing where they are intending to go next.

titleDo parents within the Catholic system use the attached exemption form (see below for screenshot) or does the Catholic system have our own that goes to someone within our system?
