That the report be noted.
This is the first report of the Tenth Assembly for the Standing Committee on Education and Community Inclusion. The report deals with two inquiries—the inquiry into the annual and financial reports 2019-2020 and the inquiry into the Appropriation Bill 2020-2021. Both of these inquiries were referred to the standing committee on 2 December 2020.
The committee compiled one report in consideration of both inquiries, which was tabled out of session on 6 April 2021. On 1 and 5 March, the committee conducted two days of hearings for the inquiries, at which it heard from 36 witnesses. During the course of these hearings, 35 questions were taken on notice, while 80 questions were provided on notice by members following the hearings.
The committee makes 12 recommendations. They relate to child and family centres, legal services in ACT public schools, teacher librarians, school construction, literacy and numeracy among ACT public school students, funding for vocational training, the young Canberra citizen of the year award winners, Gungahlin pool and procurement processes in the ACT.
