  • State of Tasmania Years 9 – 12 Education Review
    STATE OF TASMANIA YEARS 9 – 12 EDUCATION REVIEW Submission by Eleanor Ramsay and Michael Rowan ATTACHMENT 1 1 Using MySchool to benchmark Tasmanian Year 12 attainment rates against similar schools in other states Prof Eleanor Ramsay and Prof Michael Rowan, June 2016 [Minor correction 2 July 2016 – see note (2), page 24.] Few tragedies can be more extensive than the stunting of life, few injustices deeper than the denial of an opportunity to strive or even to hope, by a limit imposed from without, but falsely identified as lying within. Stephen Jay Gould PREAMBLE Prof Alan Reid, in his defence of the importance of public education, Building our nation through public education, writes Apart from denying individuals the chance to develop to their fullest potential, there is now overwhelming evidence demonstrating the deleterious effects of educational inequality on social and economic outcomes and political participation. Productivity falls, participation in civic life is diminished, and social dislocation is greater. Since education is one of the most important determinants of levels of inequality, it is clear that there is need for urgent action to improve equity in Australian schooling. The kind of evidence for inequality in Australian schooling Prof Reid would have in mind compares the outcomes for students in wealthier schools in wealthier communities with the outcomes for students in poorer schools in poorer communities. This evidence is well known, and is the basis for attempts to reduce inequality in schooling, most recently by the Gonski funding reforms. In what follows we compare Tasmanian schools to like schools elsewhere in Australia.

  • 2019 Performance Report and Financial Acquittal
    ISSP Performance Report 2019 Letter of Offer and Attachments Professor Rufus Black Vice-Chancellor and President University of Tasmania Private Bag 51 SANDY BAY TAS 7001 Dear Professor Black I am pleased to provide you with documentation regarding participation in the Indigenous Student Success Program (ISSP) in 2019. The ISSP offers eligible providers supplementary assistance to increase the number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students enrolling in, progressing in and completing higher education awards. Please find attached: 1. Your institution’s estimated 2019 entitlement (Attachment A). A first payment of 50 per cent of this estimated entitlement is expected to be made to your nominated bank account in February 2019. A second ISSP payment is expected to be paid in July 2019 after reassessing entitlements considering unused preserved scholarships. 2. Data on your institution’s past performance, as well as how your institution compares to other participating providers (Attachment B). 3. Performance and financial reporting templates to acquit 2019 ISSP activity (Attachment C). These need to be completed and returned to the Department by 30 April 2020. Program eligibility All participating ISSP providers are required to maintain an Indigenous Education Strategy, an Indigenous Workforce Strategy and an Indigenous Governance Mechanism during 2019 to remain eligible for funding under ISSP. If at any time during the year the institution does not have these in place, you should notify the Department within 30 days so a plan can be agreed to meet these eligibility requirements. Senator the Hon Nigel Scullion, Minister for Indigenous Affairs, has expressed concern about the lack of apparent planning by some universities in ensuring continuity in meeting the basic requirements of Indigenous Education and Workforce Strategies set out for ISSP eligibility.
