That the report be noted.
Today, I have the pleasure of tabling the fifth report of the Standing Committee on Education and Community Inclusion. The ACT Auditor-General’s report No 6 of 2021 aimed to assess the Education Directorate’s strategies and activities to improve the quality of teaching practices in ACT public schools.
The terms of reference for the committee’s inquiry were the Auditor-General’s report itself, which notes that teaching quality is acknowledged as the single most important factor influencing student performance within the control of education systems.
The inquiry’s report tabled today makes a total of 19 recommendations that the committee believes would improve teaching quality in our jurisdiction. The recommendations cover teaching quality strategies, resources and conditions that would empower teachers and administrators to improve student performance, alongside their own wellbeing in the workplace.
On behalf of the committee, I thank everyone who contributed to this inquiry. I would also like to thank the other members of the committee, Mr Davis and Ms Lawder. I commend the report to the Assembly.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
