Today I am announcing the members of the National School Reform Agreement Ministerial Reference Group.
In March I announced an Expert Panel, led by Dr Lisa O’Brien AM, that will advise Education Ministers on the specific reforms that should be tied to funding in the next National School Reform Agreement.
This Ministerial Reference Group will be a sounding board and source of advice to the Expert Panel.
The Group will be chaired by me and includes teachers, principals, students, parent organisations, education unions, and other education experts and stakeholders.
The next Education Ministers’ Meeting will dedicate half a day for a discussion with the Expert Panel and the Ministerial Reference Group.
The names of the teachers, principals, and students on the Ministerial Reference Group will be announced closer to this meeting.
