The
Hodgman Liberal Government is committed to improving education, to ensure every
Tasmanian student has the best chance at gaining a job and living a fulfilling
life.
It is clear Tasmanians are supportive of this through their participation in
our review of the Tasmanian Education Act, with 230 responses received.
The Stakeholder Reference Group has now considered the feedback from each and every one of those submissions, and now we will progress to the next stage.
A series of community consultation forums will be held in July, to give Tasmanians a chance to find out about the feedback to date and to help tease out the emerging issues relating to the Education Act.
The forums will be held at Hobart, Launceston, Devonport and Burnie from July 27 to 31.
We are committed to consulting with key education stakeholders and the Tasmanian community, and I encourage all to come along and have their say on the way education will look into the future.
This is the next important stage of an extensive consultation process, which will ensure we have modern delivery models to reflect contemporary educational practices and make sure it meets the needs of our students into the future.
