The Education Department has entered into new agreements with TAFE Institutes, Vocational Education and Training providers and Adult Community and Further Education (ACFE) providers which will enable them to enter into agreements with the Distance Education Centre of Victoria (DECV) to teach VCE courses to students over 21.
The new arrangement enables adults above school age to study the VCE in circumstances where there is no TAFE Institute or alternative provider offering the course.
Schools will no longer receive funding for students over 21.
The Minister for Education, Mr. Gude, said the new system would give adults from rural areas guaranteed access to a broad range of VCE subjects.
