Additional copies of the publication may be obtained from the Curriculum Council. SC1S No: 985856 ISBN 0 7307 2717 3 • ѓ#1•7 mister's forewor Pro'a ьІ y the greatest challenge facing education in Western Australia is that of meeting students' needs as we enter the twenty-first century. The Curriculum Council's Curriculum Framework has placed this State at the forefront of curriculum development in Australia. The task of the Council's Post-Compulsory Education Review is to ensure that upper-secondary is consistent with the Framework and meets the numerous and increasing demands upon our schools. These demands include widespread provision of vocational education and training, responding to the changing workplace and the spread of information technology, and greater flexibility in delivery of education to young people. The first stage of the Review has involved consultation with educationists, teachers, students and industry representatives to develop this discussion paper for community consideration. The paper proposes a new post-compulsory education system that aims to ensure all students are provided with opportunities to develop the knowledge, understandings, skills and values to succeed in their lives. I expect community involvement to be extensive during the consultation phase of the Review. There will be school visits and community seminars in country and metropolitan areas to provide information to teachers, parents and the wider community and to seek their input.
