Strategic Indicators
Strategic Indicator 1
Student performance
A key strategic priority is the achievement of excellent outcomes for students through high quality teaching and a broad and innovative curriculum.
Quality and effectiveness can be measured through student outcomes against national and international benchmarks and proficiencies.
A range of programs is used to measure student performance.  At the national level, students in Years 3, 5 and 7 are assessed against national benchmarks in reading, writing and numeracy.  National assessment programs have been implemented for science, civics and citizenship, and information and communication technology.1  At the international level, 15 year old students participate in the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) and in years 4 and 8, students participate in the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS).
National Reading, Writing and Numeracy Benchmarks
ACT years 3, 5 and 7 reading and numeracy benchmark results for 2005 were among the highest in Australia.
ACT students performed well against the reading, writing and numeracy benchmarks in all year levels tested.2
Notes:
1.	Further information on the national assessment program is available at the Ministerial Council on Employment, Education, Training and Youth Affairs (MCEETYA) website, http://www.mceetya.edu.au/mceetya/
2.	The most recent reported figures were published by MCEETYA in the 2005 National Report on Schooling in Australia Preliminary Paper on 27 March 2007.

Strategic Indicators cont.
International Assessment Programs
ACT student achievement in the TIMSS 2002‑031 exceeds all other states and compares favourably internationally.
In the TIMSS science assessments, ACT year 4 students were ranked in the top band of countries and were significantly above the international average.  ACT year 4 mathematics achievement was equivalent to the fifth international ranking.

In the 2003 PISA2, the mathematical literacy of ACT 15 year olds was equal with Western Australia as the highest in Australia and significantly exceeded the average attained by member countries of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).  Students in the ACT performed as well as students in Hong Kong-China, the highest performing country in mathematical literacy.  

Note:
1.	The TIMSS results for 2002‑03 are the latest available.  The next available results will be for the 2006 test, expected in 2008.
2.	The PISA results for 2003 are the latest available.  The next available results will be for the 2006 test, expected at the end of 2007.
Strategic Indicators cont.
In the 2003 PISA, the reading literacy of ACT 15 year olds was equal highest in Australia and significantly exceeded the average attained by member countries of the OECD.  Students in the ACT on average performed as well as students in Finland, the highest performing country in reading literacy.

Strategic Indicators cont.
Strategic Indicator 2
Year 12 or equivalent completion rates
The Government is committed to the goal of encouraging all young people to achieve a year 12 certificate or equivalent1.
A strategic indicator that measures the Government’s progress in achieving this commitment is the proportion of people aged 19 years who have completed year 12 or equivalent as recorded in the Australian Bureau of Statistics census.  According to the 2001 census, 77 per cent of ACT 19 year olds had completed year 12 or equivalent.  The Department is committed to maintaining high rates of year 12 or equivalent completion rates.

Notes:
1.	The small number of Indigenous students at each year level means that the movement of one student above or below the benchmark can result in significant percentage changes.  Target changes for 2007‑08 are the result of analysis of trend data, with additional target percentages added to give a realistic and achievable goal for improving the results attained by Indigenous students.
2.	The target has been reduced after analysis of trend data.  An additional target percentage has been added to give a realistic and achievable goal.
3.	The target has been increased as the number of students achieving a vocational certificate has continued to be above target.
4.	The target has been increased as satisfaction levels with government primary and high school education have been above target over time.

Notes to the Budget Statements 
Significant variations are as follows:
Operating Statement
•	government payment for outputs:  
•	the decrease of $3.587 million in the 2006‑07 estimated outcome from the original budget mainly relates to:
•	rollover of appropriation primarily relating to the teacher professional development fund and specific purpose Australian Government funding to 2007‑08 ($2.505 million);
•	the net outcome of the teachers’ wage negotiations and clerical wage increases  ($1.225 million); and
•	an adjustment reflecting final decisions on school rationalisations ($0.616m);
offset by:
•	transitional assistance funding brought forward from the outyears ($0.435 million); and
•	a revision to superannuation funding requirements ($0.253m).
•	the increase of $10.150 million in the 2007‑08 Budget from the 2006‑07 estimated outcome mainly relates to:
•	indexation ($9.074 million);
•	supplementation for wage increases ($8.117 million);
•	funding rolled over from 2006‑07 ($3.570 million);
•	new and previous years’ initiatives ($1.146 million); and
•	additional funding for the service level agreement with the Shared Services Centre ($0.322 million).
partially offset by:
•	the full year impact of school rationalisations ($2.483 million);
•	the impact of 2006‑07 Budget saving ($4.3 million);
•	notional superannuation rate decreases ($3.789 million); and
•	the impact of the adjustment to student enrolments in government schools ($1.360 million).
•	user charges – non ACT Government:  the increase of $0.5 million in the 2006‑07 estimated outcome from the original budget is primarily due to an increase in revenue relating to international private students.  The increase of $0.452 million in the 2007‑08 Budget from the 2006‑07 estimated outcome mainly relates to an increase in funding for the Jervis Bay pre and primary school.
•	user charges – ACT Government:  the increase of $0.2 million in the 2006‑07 estimated outcome from the original budget is primarily due to higher than anticipated revenue relating to the provision of payroll services to other government agencies.  The decrease of $0.6 million in the 2007‑08 Budget from the 2006-07 estimated outcome primarily reflects the impact of consolidating human resource functions into the Shared Services Centre.
•	other revenue:  the increase of $0.386 million in the 2006‑07 estimated outcome from the original budget and the decrease of $0.386 million in the 2007‑08 Budget from the 2006‑07 estimated outcome relate to one-off funding from the Restructure Fund.
•	other gains:  the increase of $0.230 million in the 2006‑07 estimated outcome from the original budget relates to the recognition of the Giralang Health Centre as an asset prior to it being transferred to the Department of Territory and Municipal Services.  The Centre has not previously been recognised in the Department of Education and Training’s books.
•	employee expenses:  
•	the increase of $2.529 million in the 2006‑07 estimated outcome from the original budget is primarily due to the delay in the transfer of information technology staff to the Shared Services Centre ($1.185 million), an increase in user charge funded activity ($0.7 million) and costs associated with redundancies ($0.386 million); and
•	the increase of $3.228 million in the 2007‑08 Budget from the 2006-07 estimated outcome mainly relates to:
•	wage increases of $12.378 million resulting, in part, from the collective agreements for teaching and non teaching staff; and
•	previous years’ initiatives ($0.271 million);

partially offset by:
•	the full year impact of consolidating information technology, human resources and finance functions ($3.863 million);
•	the effect of 2006‑07 Budget savings ($2.255 million);
•	the full year impact of school rationalisations ($1.685 million);
•	the impact of the adjustment to student enrolments in government schools ($1.181 million); and
•	reduced Australian Government grants ($0.264 million).
•	superannuation expenses:  the decrease of $3.952 million in the 2007‑08 Budget from the 2006‑07 estimated outcome mainly relates to decreased notional superannuation contribution rates.
•	supplies and services:
•	the decrease of $2.849 million in the 2006‑07 estimated outcome from the original budget is mainly due to the rollover of funds to 2007-08 ($1.875 million) and delays in the transfer of information technology staff to the Shared Services Centre ($1.335 million), offset by arbitration costs associated with the Teachers’ collective agreement negotiations ($0.405 million); and
•	the increase of $5.690 million in the 2007‑08 Budget from the 2006‑07 estimated outcome relates to:
•	funding rolled over from 2006‑07 ($2.505 million);
•	the impact of consolidating information technology, human resources and finance functions within the Shared Services Centre ($3.505 million);
•	indexation ($0.822 million); and
•	additional funding for the service level agreement with the Shared Services Centre ($0.322 million);
partially offset by:
•	the effect of 2006‑07 Budget savings ($1.678 million).
•	depreciation and amortisation:
•	the decrease of $4.963 million in the 2006‑07 estimated outcome from the original budget relates to:
•	the flow on impact of the impairment of assets from the 2005-06 audited outcome ($2.608 million);
•	a revision to finance leases associated with teachers’ laptops and schools’ purchases ($1.3 million);
•	revised depreciation due to the timing for the Smart Schools, Smart Students project ($1.3 million); and
•	the deferral of capital works to 2007-08 ($0.440 million);

partially offset by:
•	the re‑instatement of depreciation associated with the Towards 2020 decisions on school rationalisation ($0.495 million); and
•	the increase of $3.155 million in the 2007‑08 Budget from the 2006‑07 estimated outcome relates to:
•	capital additions from the current and previous years’ capital works programs and the Investing in our Schools program ($2.816 million); and
•	revised schools depreciation ($0.495 million).
•	borrowing costs:  the decrease of $0.371 million in the 2006‑07 estimated outcome from the original budget is primarily due to the revision of finance leases associated with teachers’ laptops and schools’ purchases.
•	grants and purchased services:
•	the decrease of $0.3 million in the 2006‑07 estimated outcome from the original budget is primarily due to the rollover of Australian Government grants to 2007-08 
($0.9 million), partially offset by increased expenditure associated with externally funded programs ($0.6 million); and
•	the increase of $1.907 million in the 2007‑08 Budget from the 2006‑07 estimated outcome mainly relates to:
•	Australian Government grants rolled over from 2006-07 ($0.9 million);
•	indexation ($0.432 million); and
•	increased Australian Government grants ($0.277 million).
•	other expenses:  
•	the decrease of $2.448 million in the 2006‑07 estimated outcome from the original budget is primarily due to the revised accounting treatment for the proposed school closure ($8.565 million), partially  offset by the transfer of land in relation to closed schools and the Giralang Health Centre to the Department of Territory and Municipal Services ($4.651 million), and a revision to finance leases associated with teachers’ laptops and schools’ purchases ($1.3 million); and
•	the decrease of $3.121 million in the 2007‑08 Budget from the 2006‑07 estimated outcome primarily relates to the transfer of land in relation to closed schools and the Giralang Health Centre to the Department of Territory and Municipal Services ($4.651 million) partially offset by indexation ($1.315 million).
Balance Sheet
•	current assets:  the increase of $8.234 million in the 2006‑07 estimated outcome from the original budget mainly relates to the revised cash position under the cash management framework based on the 2005-06 audited outcome.
•	non current assets:
•	the decrease of $39.834 million in the 2006‑07 estimated outcome from the original budget is primarily due to the flow on of 2005-06 audited outcome relating to the impairment of assets; and
•	the increase of $73.370 million in the 2007‑08 Budget from the 2006‑07 estimated outcome is primarily related to the capital works program and the purchase of plant and equipment ($100.179 million) partially offset by depreciation ($27.135 million).
•	total liabilities:
•	the decrease of $6.719 million in the 2006‑07 estimated outcome from the original budget mainly relates to decreased finance leases ($6.033 million) and employee provisions ($2.820 million), partially offset by an increase in payables ($1.867 million); and
•	the increase of $2.656 million in the 2007‑08 Budget from the 2006‑07 estimated outcome relates to the impact of net increased employee entitlements associated with the collective agreements ($3.469 million), partially offset by decreased finance lease liabilities ($0.813 million).
•	reserves:  the decrease of $29.060 million in the 2006-07 estimated outcome from the original budget relates to the impairment of assets flowing through from the 2005‑06 audited outcome.
Statement of Changes in Equity
•	capital injection:
•	the decrease of $12.114 million in the 2006-07 estimated outcome from the original budget is due to the deferral of 2006‑07 capital works to 2007-08; and
•	the increase of $50.594 million in the 2007‑08 Budget from the 2006‑07 estimated outcome is due to an increase in new capital works ($42.661 million) and works in progress ($12.114 million), partially offset by funding mainly associated with the Australian Government’s Investing in Our Schools Programs ($4.232 million).

Statement of Income and Expenses on Behalf of the Territory
•	payment for expenses on behalf of the Territory:
•	the decrease of $11.018 million in the 2006‑07 estimated outcome from the original budget relates to the revision of overestimated Australian Government grants for non government schools ($11.121 million), offset by increased ACT Government funding for non government schools ($0.103 million); and
•	the increase of $18.748 million in the 2007‑08 Budget from the 2006‑07 estimated outcome is due to:
•	additional non government schools funding from the Australian Government ($17.673 million); and
•	additional non government schools funding from the ACT Government ($1.075 million).
•	grants from the Commonwealth:
•	the decrease of $12.049 million in the 2006‑07 estimated outcome from the original budget is mainly due to the revision of Australian Government funding to non government schools ($11.121 million), and a decrease in government schooling grants ($0.928 million); and
•	the increase of $17.284 million in the 2007‑08 Budget from the 2006‑07 estimated outcome is primarily due to:
•	additional non government schooling grants ($17.673 million); and

partially offset by:
•	reduced government schooling grants ($0.664 million).
