Statement by chair
MR PETTERSSON (Yerrabi) (10.20): Pursuant to standing order 246A, I wish to make a statement on behalf of the Standing Committee on Education, Employment and Youth Affairs. On 29 November 2018, petition 18-18, which related to the cessation of funding for the music for colleges program, also referred to as the H music course, was referred to the committee for consideration.
The committee carefully considered the response from the Minister for the Arts and Cultural Events in relation to the petition and on 9 April 2019 sought a joint briefing from the minister for arts and the Minister for Education and Early Childhood Development to fully understand the factors involved.
Following this briefing, the committee resolved to conduct an inquiry into the cessation of funding for the music for colleges program. On 30 April the committee opened the call for submissions. The committee has published the terms of reference for the inquiry on its website and looks forward to receiving submissions prior to 30 May 2019 and reporting back to the Assembly on the matter in due course.
