Two teachers are accused of serious misconduct over the male teacher's inappropriate relationship with a 13-year-old pupil, who has since died.

Details of the case can now be revealed with the lifting today of blanket suppression orders.

However, the two teachers, the schools they teach or taught at and the location of the alleged wrongdoing remain temporarily suppressed.

The two teachers, a man and his female partner, has appeared at an Education Council Disciplinary Tribunal hearing in Wellington today.

The man admits a charge of serious misconduct, but disputes aspects of the alleged wrongdoing.

The woman admits the accusations against her but is disputing it amounted to serious misconduct.
