For whom are you translating this? Can't help for NZ but for GB would suggest they are equivalent to Local Education Authorities.
Anna Quail Jun 22, 2007:
It is not a management school. Sorry, can't help with the translation, but it is an "académie gestionnaire" http://www.ac-nancy-metz.fr/Academie/Actualites/DocComplet.p... (search "qui gère") http://www.ac-nantes.fr/85805250/0/fiche___pagelibre/&RH=EX

Another example (found on the Internet):


Consultation des résultats
aux brevets de technicien supérieur - Session 2007

Le tableau ci-dessous fait apparaître les spécialités concernées ainsi que les dates et heures à partir desquelles vous aurez la possibilité de consulter votre résultat sur Internet : www.ac-orleans-tours.fr.

Si votre spécialité ne figure pas dans cette liste, consultez votre convocation à l'examen pour connaître dates et modalités de consultation des résultats ou contactez l'académie de gestion (voir l'en-tête de convocation).

I don't think it is a management school in this case, but possibly the school that organises the studies?? Organises the examinations??

Central Registrar / Central Administration

Usually an "Academie" is an administrative umbrella for several universities: the "Academie de Paris", for example, includes at least 10 "Facultés", which are more or less independent universities on different campuses, usually with a focus on a particular discipline (like a university-sized version of our "Faculties").

This seems to be a slightly different sense, but it does look like this is a central administrative unit for tertiary enrolment and results over several regions (ie Paris, Creteil and Versailles). The central administrative unit in a university, for pretty much everything (including enrolment and results) is usually called the Registrar, but you could use either Registrar or Central Administration, and perhaps just
"Enrolments" for the "Academie d'Inscription".

DISTRICT FOR ADMINISTRATION PURPOSES

Hello,

I believe that "académies" are "districts" (circonscriptions)

This may the educational district to which this student belongs.

"Gestion" may be referring to "administration."

This may be a group of universities under one district for administration purposes.

I hope this helps.
