Education Act Review: Submissions Online

Tasmanians can now check out what others had to say on our review of the Tasmanian Education Act with the submissions available online from today.

The Hodgman Liberal Government is committed to improving education and it is clear Tasmanians are very supportive and keen to be a part of this, with 230 responses received.

Each response has been carefully assessed and considered before being published, however some have not been published due to a request from its author or concerns for privacy issues.

This review is vital to ensuring we have modern delivery models to reflect contemporary educational practices and make sure it meets the needs of our students into the future.

I sincerely thank all individuals, groups and stakeholders who took the time to discuss and share their ideas, knowledge and feedback with us.

The responses are being individually considered, and will inform the development of an exposure draft of the Bill for the new Act.

This is the beginning of an extensive consultation process, because we want to get this right. The feedback from our consultation will determine the timeframe for the exposure draft.

We are committed to improving educational outcomes in Tasmania, because we firmly believe that education is the cornerstone of our Plan to build Tasmania’s economy and create a highly skilled, job ready generation.

The submissions are available here: http://tased-education-act.blogspot.com.au/
