Dropouts get chance to work from home - STUART DYE, New Zealand Herald
School dropouts will be given internet at home and access to mentors in a pilot scheme to get the country's most disaffected teenagers back into education. From next month 100 students in Auckland and Wellington will become involved in the $2.5 million programme called Notschool.net. The online learning scheme will be available to 13- to 16-year-olds and, if successful, will be extended around the country. Young people who are not at school or not achieving well will be allowed to work online from home 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Mentors and subject experts will encourage and guide the students, and they will be able to talk in a secure chatroom with others in the programme.
