This submission provides a brief response to the issues raised in the Public Consultation Paper.
It identifies reform options for the Tasmanian government, drawing on Grattan Institute’s recent research reports, including:
- The Reading Guarantee: How to give every child the best chance of success (2024)
- Spreading success: Why Australia should trial multi-school organisations (2024)
- Tackling under-achievement: Why Australia should embed high-quality small-group tuition in schools (2023)
- Ending the lesson lottery: How to improve curriculum planning in schools (2022)
- Top teachers: Sharing expertise to improve teaching (2020)
Given Grattan’s research has largely focused on schooling from Foundation to Year 10, this submission responds to the following themes from the Public Consultation Paper: (1) defining educational success; (2) strengthening supports and engagement for all learners at all stages of their education; (4) support for the teaching workforce; and (5) accountability for improved outcomes.
