The ACT Government announced in October an independent inquiry into literacy and numeracy performance in the ACT.
Through the inquiry we will gain local insights into the opportunities for strengthening literacy and numeracy outcomes for all ACT public school students, with a particular focus on equity. The inquiry will also look at how supports for educators and students could be enhanced.
An independent Expert Panel has been announced to lead the inquiry.
As a system we strive for excellence and equity in educational outcomes at all ACT public schools. Our schools continue to deliver a high-quality education to all children under the Australian Curriculum, with a strong focus on literacy and numeracy.
The inquiry will build on what we are doing well in our schools and identify opportunities to strengthen our education system.
How to get involved
The Panel will consider the views of academics, educators, unions, parents and carers, and students. This will be done through calls for public submissions and stakeholder engagement.
A call for public submissions will be made soon.
