DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND TRAINING
Objectives
The Department of Education and Training (the Department) works in partnership with the community to provide sustainable, high quality school education and training services to meet the needs of the people of Canberra.
Departmental services include the provision of public school education; registration of non government schools; registration for home education; planning and coordination of vocational education and training (VET); and provision of preschool and early intervention education programs.
Through these services, the Department aims to improve learning and employment outcomes for all students and trainees.
2009-10 Priorities
Strategic and operational issues to be pursued in 2009-10 include:
•	lowering class sizes across all years in public schools;
•	enhancing the literacy and numeracy performance of all students with a focus on indigenous students;
•	ensuring the ACT has the best teachers in its classrooms;
•	implementing Council of Australian Governments (COAG) reforms in education, skills and early childhood development;
•	delivering the Building the Education Revolution initiative funded under the Commonwealth Government’s Nation Building and Jobs Plan;
•	constructing new schools and upgrading school facilities;
•	contributing to the strengthening of Canberra’s economy and its community by targeting VET funding to areas of skill shortage;
•	supporting the improvement of information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure in schools;
•	increasing the number of Indigenous teachers and teachers’ aides in our public schools;
•	improving learning outcomes for students with English as a Second Language (ESL);
•	strengthening and improving language education;
•	promoting participation of Australian School-Based Apprenticeships (ASBAs);
•	nurturing gifted and talented students and ensuring better outcomes for all students;
•	reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing sustainability in schools; and
•	continuing to support non government schools.

Business and Corporate Strategies
The Department will employ the following strategies to achieve its objectives, priorities and efficiency measures, and to manage business and financial risks:
•	operate as a customer service oriented entity subject to the requirements of government policy and legislation;
•	use financial practices which satisfy the requirements of the Financial Management Act 1996, including the associated Accounting Policy Papers modelled on the requirements of Accounting Standards, and which fairly present the Department’s financial position and operational and cash flow results for planning and reporting purposes;
•	adopt high standard operating practices to safeguard the environment and the health and safety of staff;
•	provide a productive and satisfying working environment for staff, and a commitment to high standards of human resource management based on the principles of equal employment opportunity;
•	use project planning strategies to ensure that the Building the Education Revolution project is implemented in an effective and timely manner; and
•	work collaboratively with stakeholders in the planning and implementation of COAG initiatives including the National Education Agreement, the National Agreement for Skills and Workforce Development, and National Partnership Programs.

Est. Outcome	2009-10
Budget	
4,345		  Staffing  (FTE)	4,4701	4,5652	
Notes:
1.	The increase in FTE numbers can be attributed to an increase to support the Building the Education Revolution initiative, the filling of a number of school counsellor vacancies and higher than anticipated casual relief levels in schools.
2.	The projected increase in employment levels from the 2008-09 Budget is due to additional teacher numbers included in 2009-10 Budget initiatives.

Strategic Indicators
Strategic Indicator 1
Student Performance
The achievement of excellent student outcomes is a key strategic priority.  Indicators of success are derived from the analysis of student performance, with a focus on raising standards and reducing achievement gaps.
Student performance is measured across the curriculum using a range of assessment programs.  Nationally, students at years 3, 5, 7 and 9 participate in the National Assessment Program — Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN).  Other national assessments are conducted triennially on a sample of year 6 and 10 students for science, civics and citizenship, and information and communications technology1.  Internationally, a sample of year 9 students participate in the triennial Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) and, at years 4 and 8, a sample of students sit the quadrennial Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS).
To provide the most comprehensive picture of ACT performance against a national background, results from the 2008 NAPLAN tests covering reading, writing and numeracy of students in years 3, 5, 7 and 9 have been presented.  The 2007 TIMSS assessment provides the most current international comparison of ACT performance.
National Assessment Program — Reading, Writing and Numeracy Results
ACT years 3, 5, 7 and 9 reading and numeracy mean scores for 2008 were amongst the highest in Australia and above the national average.  ACT students also performed well in writing compared to the national mean2.

International Assessment Programs
The 2007 TIMSS was the largest ever global assessment program involving nearly 60 countries with a total of 425,000 students worldwide.
Science Domain
In year 4 science, the ACT was ranked fourth, behind NSW, Victoria and Tasmania, although there was no statistical difference in mean scores of ACT students and those of other jurisdictions.  The ACT’s performance was significantly above the international TIMSS average.
Figure 2
Mean scores of year 4 science students by jurisdiction, 20071,2

In year 8 science, the ACT had the highest mean score of all Australian jurisdictions placing it eighth of 49 nations and statistically the same as the highest performing country, Singapore.  There were 16 per cent of year 8 students achieving the advanced benchmark level, and 77 per cent achieving in the top three benchmarks.

In year 4 mathematics, although the ACT was ranked third behind NSW and Victoria, there was no statistical significant difference between the mean scores of ACT students and those of other jurisdictions.
Figure 4
Mean scores of year 4 mathematics students by jurisdiction, 20071,2

In year 8 mathematics, the ACT had the highest mean score across all jurisdictions, higher than the national result and placing it sixth of 49 nations in terms of international achievement.  The ACT had approximately 70 per cent of students achieving in the top three international benchmark levels.

Strategic Indicator 2
Year 12 or Equivalent Completion Rates
The ACT Government committed in The Canberra Plan 2008 to encourage all young people to achieve a Year 12 certificate or equivalent qualification.  A strategic indicator that measures the Government’s progress against this commitment is the proportion of people aged 19 years who have completed a Year 12 or equivalent qualification.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics Survey of Education and Work 2008 (the most current source of data against this indicator) conducted in May 2008 reported that 88.4 per cent of ACT 19 year olds had completed a Year 12 or equivalent qualification.

Notes:

2.	A 95 per cent confidence interval has been included to provide an indication of the variability of the data.
3.	The data presented in Figure 6 is comparable to the data provided under strategic indicator 2 from the 2008-09 Budget Paper No. 4, although the data is sourced from different collections.  Data from the ABS Survey of Education and Work, 2008 has been used to update the data from the ABS Census of Population and Housing, 2006 to provide a more up to date picture of the ACT’s performance.  When confidence intervals are taken into account the difference in the proportion of ACT students with a year 12 or equivalent qualification in 2008 is not significantly different to the 2006 Census results.

Output Description
Public primary school education is available on average for eight years with a preschool age of four years and a kindergarten starting age of five years.  A balanced preschool/primary school curriculum covering the early and later childhood bands in the ACT curriculum framework allows students to develop the qualities needed for life-long learning.  Students are given every opportunity to develop the knowledge, understandings, capabilities and values essential for participation as active members of their community and society.
Learning opportunities in public primary schools are designed to allow each student to experience success and achieve high quality learning outcomes.  Students in ACT public primary schools consistently achieve high academic results against national standards.
A range of student support services are available within school communities and from other government departments.  Professional learning for beginning teachers has strengthened teacher profiles and capacities.
At the beginning of 2008, every public preschool amalgamated with a primary school.  As a result, from 1 July 2009, functions related to preschool education will be transferred to Output Class 1:  Public School Education.
Preschool education programs identify and address the physical, emotional, social and educational needs of all eligible four year olds.  The new ACT curriculum framework consolidates and extends early learning experiences that focus on the early development of literacy and numeracy.

Special Education in Public Schools	51,476	52,476	43,880	44,981	
Output Description
A range of programs are available in ACT public schools for students with a disability.  These include access to four special needs schools, specific classes or units in mainstream schools, or participation in mainstream classes with the support required to access and participate in the educational programs offered by the school.  The Student Centred Appraisal of Need (SCAN) process identifies the level of additional resourcing required by the student in the particular school setting.  Parents and schools work together in developing and reviewing each student’s Individual Learning Plan (ILP), which identifies educational goals.  Student progress against the ILP is reviewed annually or more frequently as required.
The focus is on literacy and numeracy, health, self-management and interpersonal skills, appropriate to the assessed needs of students with disabilities, to enable all students to realise their individual potential.

•	the increase of $41.786 million in the 2009-10 Budget from the 2008-09 estimated outcome relates primarily to the transfer of preschool functions from Output Class 4 to Output Class 1 ($21.211 million), indexation and new initiatives ($13.552 million), depreciation associated with new assets ($4.738 million) and Commonwealth grants ($3.887 million), partially offset by one-off funding provided for school parent groups and associations ($1.320 million).
