Two of the bill's measures are aimed specifically at addressing concerns from many teachers who submitted on the bill about the potential for the council to set unreasonable or unaffordable fees. The first of these is a requirement for the council to ensure that fees and levies only cover the actual and reasonable costs of performing the council's functions and exercising its powers. The second is a requirement for the council to consult with the teaching profession and to receive views presented to it with an open mind and to give due consideration to those views when making decisions about fees. While the requirement to consult is already a well-established principle of administrative law, making it explicit in the Act provides the profession with greater assurance that consultation on fees and levies will be genuine.
