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 are 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 students consistently achieve high levels in reading, writing and numeracy assessments against national benchmarks1.
Students Who Achieved National Reading, Writing and Numeracy Benchmarks1

1. The most recently reported figures are from 2001, as published in the Report on Government Services 2005.

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 TIMMS 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 5th 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% 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.

Budgeted Financial Results 
Section 31 of the Financial Management Act 1996 (FMA) advises that Chief Executives are responsible for achievement of financial results.  For the purpose of Section 31 of the FMA, key budgeted results are specified in the Budget Papers to improve accountability.  An outcome of the increased accountability will be the requirement for Chief Executives to explain material variances from specified budgeted results.
In accordance with Section 31 of the FMA, following are the key budgeted results for the Department of Education and Training in 2005‑06:
•	Operating Result after Extraordinary Activities ($26.183m deficit) – the Department’s budget is determined on the basis that all expenditure is met from annual revenue, with the exception of depreciation and movements in employee liabilities.  To the extent that this cost is not met by revenue the Department continues to have an operating loss.
•	Current Ratio1 (0.9 to 1) –  the current ratio is an indication of the ability to fund short‑term liabilities from short-term assets.  While a generally accepted minimum of 1 to 1 is desired, given the nature of the Department’s operations and the fact that the majority of revenue is provided by government, a ratio of 0.9 to 1 is not unreasonable.
•	Total Assets ($656.193m) – the Department’s total asset position is generally maintained at this level.  The effect of depreciation on the asset base is approximately offset by the annual capital works program funded by capital injections.  In 2005‑06, capital injections of $21.929m are provided to carry out capital works and other capital initiatives.
•	Total Liabilities ($82.938m) - the majority of the Department’s liabilities relate to employee provisions.  Employee provision levels are determined by the size and length of service of the workforce.  While the Department has a mature workforce, levels of cash costs are anticipated to be around $2m lower than the accruing employee liability.  It should be noted that this position will be influenced by future wage negotiations.

Notes to the Budget Statements
Significant variations are as follows:
Operating Statement
•	government payment for outputs:  
–	the increase of $29.954m in the 2004‑05 estimated outcome from the original budget mainly relates to:
•	wage increases for teachers’ enterprise bargaining agreement ($26.106m), of which $3.185m relates to the Canberra Institute of Technology (CIT);
•	wage increases for non teaching staff ($1.760m), of which $0.364m relates to CIT;
•	finalisation of the transfer to the Office for Children, Youth and Family Support ($4.093m);

•	establishment of a review of colleges through the 2nd Appropriation 2004‑05 ($0.050m);
offset by:
•	superannuation savings ($6.935m);
–	the increase of $6.867m in the 2005‑06 Budget from the 2004-05 estimated outcome mainly relates to:

It should be noted that approximately $32m in government payment for outputs is appropriated to government schools to fund administrative costs in schools.  The funding provided to each school is calculated using the school based management funding model.
•	user charges – non ACT Government:  the increase of $0.436m in the 2004‑05 estimated outcome from the original budget is primarily due to an increase in revenue relating to the Active Leisure Centre ($0.168m) and hire of facilities ($0.173m);

–	the increase of $8.073m in the 2005‑06 Budget from the 2004‑05 estimated outcome mainly relates to:

•	the impact of adjustment to student enrolments in government schools ($1.642m).
•	superannuation expenses:

•	borrowing costs:  the increase of $0.192m in the 2005-06 Budget from the 2004‑05 estimated outcome is primarily due to the computers for teaching program ($0.158m);
•	grants and purchased services:  
–	the increase of $8.131m in the 2004‑05 estimated outcome from the original budget is primarily due to funding provided to vocational education and training through the 2nd Appropriation 2004‑05 ($3.1m), wage increases for teaching and non teaching staff at the CIT ($3.549m) and increased DEST grants ($1.482m); 
–	the decrease of $2.070m in the 2005‑06 Budget from the 2004‑05 estimated outcome is primarily related to:
•	removal of one‑off funding to vocational education and training ($3.1m);
•	reduced DEST grants ($1.410m);
•	CIT InTACT savings ($0.169m); and
•	CIT superannuation savings ($1m);
offset by:
•	increased funding for vocational education and training ($1.5m);
•	indexation ($1.139m);
•	wage increases for teaching and non teaching staff at the CIT ($0.675m);
•	previous years’ initiatives ($0.128m); and
•	increased insurance premium CIT ($0.065m).
•	other expenses:  the increase of $1.227m in the 2005‑06 Budget from the 2004‑05 estimated outcome is mainly due to indexation ($1.007m) and student support funds initiative ($0.250m).
Balance Sheet
•	current assets:  the decrease of $6.042m in the 2004‑05 estimated outcome from the original budget mainly relates to back payments for the finalisation of the enterprise bargaining agreement in 2004‑05;
•	non current assets:  the increase of $3.984m in the 2004‑05 estimated outcome from the original budget is mainly due to the rollover of previous years’ capital works.  The increase of $3.683m in the 2005‑06 Budget from the 2004‑05 estimated outcome is primarily related to the capital works program and works in progress ($29.345m) offset by depreciation ($25.662m).
•	total liabilities:  the increase of $6.601m in the 2004‑05 estimated outcome from the original budget mainly relates to increased employee entitlements associated with new enterprise bargaining agreements and increased payables.  The increase of $8.183m in the 2005‑06 Budget from the 2004‑05 estimated outcome relates to increased employee entitlements associated with new enterprise bargaining agreements and increased finance lease costs.
Statement of Changes in Equity
•	capital injection:
–	the decrease of $1.801m in the 2004‑05 estimated outcome from the original budget is due to the deferral of 2004‑05 capital works ($2m) offset by capital injection associated with the interactive whiteboards initiative ($0.199m); and
–	the decrease of $4.440m in the 2005‑06 Budget from the 2004‑05 estimated outcome is due to a decrease in works in progress ($6.635m) and new capital works ($0.610m), offset by increased capital injection for the school building renewal fund initiative ($2m) and the interactive whiteboards initiative ($0.805m).

Notes to the Budget Statements 
Significant variations are as follows:
Statement of Income and Expenses on Behalf of the Territory
•	payments for expenses on behalf of the Territory:  the increase of $7.021m in the estimated outcome from the original budget relates to increased Commonwealth Government grants for non government schools ($6.707m) and increased ACT Government funding for non government schools ($0.314m).  The increase of $13.690m in the 2005‑06 Budget from the 2004‑05 estimated outcome is due to:
–	additional non government schools Commonwealth Government funding ($12.442m);
–	additional non government schools ACT funding ($1.123m); and 
–	additional support for K-3 in non government schools ($0.125m).
•	grants from the Commonwealth:  the increase of $7.962m in the estimated outcome from the original budget is mainly due to additional Commonwealth Government funding to non government schools ($6.707m) and additional Commonwealth Government DEST grants ($1.242m).  The increase of $12.616m in the 2005‑06 Budget from the 2004‑05 estimated outcome is primarily due to:
–	additional non government schooling grants ($12.442m); and
–	additional government schooling grants ($1.483m).
offset by:
–	reduced vocational education and training grants ($1.281m).
•	grants and purchased services:  the increase $7.021m in the 2004‑05 estimated outcome from the original budget is due to the allocation of Commonwealth Government grants as mentioned above.  The increase of $13.690m in the 2005‑06 Budget from the 2004‑05 estimated outcome is due to increased funding for non government schools from the Commonwealth Government ($12.442m) and the ACT Government ($1.248m).
Statement of Assets and Liabilities on Behalf of the Territory
•	total assets and total liabilities:  the decrease of $0.108m in the 2005‑06 Budget from the 2004‑05 estimated outcome is due to reduction in receivables and liabilities reflecting loan repayments by the Catholic Education Office associated with the Joint Facility at Gold Creek School.
Budgeted Statement of Cashflows on Behalf of the Territory
