The Tasmanian Association of State School Organisations (TASSO) has responded to today’s release of the Independent Review of Education in Tasmania report.
John Allan, TASSO President said “The Independent Review of Education report handed down today is a welcome start that is full of potential.”
“The report acknowledges TASSO’s position that engagement is key to success, that by improving engagement between students, families and educators is needed”. Mr Allan continued.
“The ball is now in the government’s court to implement the recommendations in the report”.
“Our hope is that the period between now and the budget delivery in May is spent assessing, and prioritising recommendations with stakeholders. And that funding is provided to fully implement the changes needed”.
“Partnership with families is critical for educational success, our School Associations and their committees provided a key pathway into the heart of every state school in Tasmania, it’s time to listen to what they are saying. Parents are calling out for engagement with learning opportunities and better communication strategies.”
“TASSO wish to acknowledge the work of Vicki Baylis and the team for the comprehensive engagement with families and school communities during the very tight timeframe of the review.” concluded Mr Allan.
