Education inquiry Victoria
Mr Bull said, "This inquiry will serve Victorian students, educators and school communities in examining not only the issues impacting educational outcomes through student learning and disengagement, but also improve professional support and teacher retention within the education system which is vital after the challenges of the pandemic."
Mr Bull is urging everyone to have their say with submissions open now. "It has been a long time - in fact almost 20 years - since there was a deep dive into the education system in this Victorian Parliament. The breadth of this inquiry really focuses on student learning outcomes, well-being, mental health and engagement. It is essential to unpack the issues in terms of listening to people in the field - teachers, principals, school leaders, school councils and parents and students," he said.
Make a submission
Ms Bath is also calling for an inquiry hearing to be held in Gippsland so that contributors are not burdened to travel to Melbourne, in order to have their say.
Public submissions to the inquiry close on Friday 13 October 2023. A report to parliament with findings and recommendations for the government is due by 25 June 2024.For more information and to make a submission, visit Inquiry into the state education system in Victoria website.
