This statement by the Minister for Education and Training looks at the key priorities for the next decade to consolidate and build on changes which took place in primary and secondary schools. The most significant of these changes were the increase in numbers of students completing year 12, the complementary development of the Victorian Certificate of Education and the reorganisation of schools in districts to provide comprehensive curriculum in schools.

The key priorities for meeting the challenges of the 90s are: linking education and training; excellence for all; literacy and numeracy; languages and technology, and; accountability and reporting. The statement expands on each of these aspects in turn. While this statement generally focuses on schools, there are implications for other sectors. Show less
