The Tasmanian Liberal Government has accepted the recommendations from the Independent Review of Education in Tasmania.
Minister for Education, Jo Palmer, said of the 14 recommendations, 13 have been accepted in full and one accepted in-principle, with further analysis to be undertaken around funding professional associations to deliver discipline-specific professional learning.
"We're now focussed on carefully considering the findings of the Final Report and taking action to implement these recommendations, with improved outcomes for Tasmanian learners being front of mind in this work," Minister Palmer said.
"I'm delighted by the excitement I'm observing across the Tasmanian community about the possibilities stemming from our independent review.
"From the Tasmanian education sectors, key stakeholders and families, there is so much goodwill to ensure we see meaningful change for our children and young people.
"Importantly, work is already underway to progress a number of these recommendations, including supercharging our literacy strategy, improving school staff wellbeing, ensuring alignment between our education system and the University of Tasmania, and getting ready to trial a multi-school organisation model.
"The Tasmanian Government's focus to improve Tasmania's education system over the next decade is a key part of the 2030 Strong Plan for Tasmania's Future."
Of the 14 recommendations, three will be collectively led by Tasmanian education sectors and three led by the Department for Education, Children and Young People.
Eight will be implemented independently within each sector with learnings shared through the Advisory Council for Education, which is made up of the Secretary, Department for Education Children and Young People and the Executive Directors of Independent Schools Tasmania and Catholic Education Tasmania.
The Tasmanian Government released the Final Report from the Independent Review of Education in Tasmania on 22 January 2025.
