Tasmania has some of the worst education results in the country. A review has been announced to fix it, as the gap between Tasmania and the rest of the country appears to be growing.
The Tasmania n government has announced an independent review of the state's education system to improve poor education outcomes, following calls from the opposition and stakeholders.The review's terms of reference will be released in the coming weeks and will be presented to the government by the end of 2024.
Vicki Baylis, the former chief executive of the Northern Territory Department of Education, will lead the review, in consultation with the Department of Education, Children and Young People. "We have delivered significant change in the education system over the past 10 years, including extending high schools to years 11 and 12, and changing the law to ensure young people are in education or training," she said.
A report Mr Eslake produced earlier this month highlighted the role education would play in the state's "three Ps": population growth, workforce participation rate and economic productivity. Labor education spokesperson Sarah Lovell welcomed the review, noting the short turnaround for the review's publication."We've seen educational outcomes get worse and worse. That's already an entire education for some students."
