EDUCATION — REGIONAL LEARNING SPECIALISTS
888. Hon DONNA FARAGHER to the Minister for Education and
Training:
I refer to the answer given to question without notice 689
asked on 28 August 2018 regarding the government's election commitment
to allocate regional learning specialists to work with year 11 and 12 students
at regional schools.
(1) Will the
minister provide a full list of the regional schools that these learning
specialists will support and visit?
(2) Can the
minister confirm that these specialists will work only with senior secondary
students undertaking select ATAR courses who are enrolled at the School of
Isolated and Distance Education?
(3) If yes to
(2), will the minister list those ATAR courses that will be supported by these
learning specialists?
(4) For each
school identified in (1), will the minister advise how many students in 2018
are studying senior secondary ATAR courses that would be expected to be
supported by these learning specialists?
Hon SUE ELLERY replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. Recruitment processes for the regional learning
specialist positions are close to completion.
The answers to (1) and (4) are in a table
that sets out the information requested, so I seek leave to have that
incorporated into Hansard.
Leave granted.
