Early Intervention is a means of identifying and addressing the physical, emotional, social and educational needs of children from birth to five years.  The focus is on the critical years of growth and transition to increase protective factors and reduce social and environmental risks that may have lifetime implications.  Programs can be universal (available to all) or more specifically targeted to those with special needs.

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 are currently being developed for science, civics and citizenship, and information and communication technology.  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).

Nationally comparable learning outcomes
ACT years 3, 5 and 7 reading and numeracy benchmark results for 2004 were among the highest in the country and confirm the high literacy and numeracy levels of students in ACT schools.  ACT students performed very well against the reading, writing and numeracy benchmarks in all year levels tested.
Students Who Achieved National Reading, Writing and Numeracy Benchmarks1

Note:
1.	The most recently reported figures are for 2004, as published in the National Report on Schooling 2004, Preliminary Paper.

Strategic Indicators cont.
Internationally comparable learning outcomes
ACT student achievement in international assessment programs is excellent, as demonstrated in this sample of the results achieved in the TIMSS 2002‑03 and the PISA.
In the TIMSS science assessments, ACT year 4 students were ranked in the top band of countries and were significantly above the international average.  In mathematics, year 4 achievement was equal to the fifth highest ranked country.
In the 2003 PISA assessments, the mathematical literacy of ACT 15 year olds was equal with Western Australia as the highest in the country and well above the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) average.

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 a year 12 or equivalent.  The Department is committed to maintaining high rates of year 12 or equivalent completion rates.

Notes:
1	In 2006‑07 the literacy accountability indicators for reading and writing have been split into two indicators, one for reading and one for writing.  The split will provide more accurate data on ACT results.
2	Fewer than expected indigenous students in year 7 achieved on or above the benchmark cut score for both reading and writing.  The reading benchmark was achieved by 68% of indigenous students, with an error margin of +/-12.3%.  The writing benchmark was achieved by 74% of indigenous students, with an error margin of +/-15.8%.  Because the number of indigenous students is very small, the movement of one student can change the percentage results significantly.  The targets for indigenous students are lower than the targets for all students to provide a challenging but achievable goal for improving the results achieved by indigenous students.
3	The numeracy results for indigenous students in year 7 are below target.  The small number of indigenous students at each year level means that the movement of one student above or below the benchmark cut score can result in significant percentage changes.  The targets for indigenous students are lower than the targets for all students to provide a challenging but achievable goal for improving the results achieved by indigenous students.

Notes to the Budget Statements 
Significant variations are as follows:
Operating Statement
•	government payment for outputs:  
–	the decrease of $4.890 million in the 2005‑06 estimated outcome from the original budget mainly relates to:
•	superannuation revision ($4.5 million); and
•	rollover of appropriation for the teacher professional development fund to 2006‑07 ($0.934 million);
offset by:
•	increases in Australian Government grants ($0.544 million).
–	the decrease of $38.147 million in the 2006‑07 Budget from the 2005‑06 estimated outcome mainly relates to:
•	transfer of appropriation to the Canberra Institute of Technology ($57.928 million);
•	departmental efficiency savings measures ($4.6 million);
•	school rationalisation ($1.6 million);
•	the impact of the adjustment to student enrolments in government schools ($0.957 million);
•	the impact of consolidating the following into the Shared Services Centre; human resources and finance functions ($0.353 million); information technology functions ($0.6 million); and procurement services ($0.308 million);
•	reducing general procurement and motor vehicle expenses ($0.226 million); and
•	rationalising boards and committees ($0.125 million);
offset by:
•	supplementation for notional superannuation rate increases ($14.973 million);
•	indexation ($7.924 million);
•	supplementation for wage increases ($1.019 million);
•	transitional assistance ($1 million);
•	teacher professional development funds rolled over from 2005‑06 ($0.934 million);
•	Australian Government grants ($0.801 million);
•	previous years’ initiatives ($0.777 million); and
•	new initiatives for 2006‑07, comprising the Pacific Schools Games ($0.550 million) and Asbestos Management ($0.150 million).
•	user charges – non ACT Government:  the increase of $4.076 million in the 2005‑06 estimated outcome from the original budget is primarily due to reclassification of national agreement revenue from ‘grants from Commonwealth’ ($2.826 million) and an increase in revenue relating to international private students and the Active Leisure Centre ($1.250 million).  The decrease of $0.583 million in the 2006‑07 Budget from the 2005‑06 estimated outcome mainly relates to a decrease in funding received for the Jervis Bay pre and primary schools;
•	user charges – ACT Government:  the increase of $0.6 million in the 2005‑06 estimated outcome from the original budget is primarily due to an increase in revenue relating to the provision of payroll services to other government agencies.  The decrease of $0.408 million in the 2006‑07 Budget from the 2005‑06 estimated outcome reflects the impact of consolidating human resource functions into the Shared Services Centre;
•	interest:  the increase of $0.450 million in the 2005‑06 estimated outcome from the original budget is primarily due to efficient cash management practices.  The decrease of $0.642 million in the 2006‑07 Budget from the 2005‑06 estimated outcome relates to the implementation of cash management reforms;
•	grants from commonwealth: the decrease of $2.826 million in the 2005‑06 estimated outcome from the original budget relates to reclassification of national agreement payments as ‘user charges’;
•	other revenue:  the increase of $1.096 million in the 2005‑06 estimated outcome from the original budget mainly relates to schools transitory revenue ($0.5 million) and one-off funding from the restructure fund ($0.596 million).
