AISSA REPRESENTS INDEPENDENT SCHOOL SECTOR IN THE SACE REVIEW

The Social Development Committee of the South Australian Parliament conducts an inquiry into the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE), with the AISSA representing the Future SACE Implementation Steering Committee through its Executive Director and the Assistance Director of Educational Services.

The AISSA’s submission addresses the following matters:

• legislative and governance arrangements of the new SACE Board;
• resolution of higher and further education entry requirements;
• ensuring excellence, rigour and credibility;
• ability of a single qualification to provide the range of pathways required to meet the needs of all students and stakeholders;
• national curriculum initiatives;
• provision of adequate (and ongoing) resources for infrastructure development and for professional learning for school leaders and teachers; and
• engagement of, and communication with stakeholders.

 

Supporting member schools throughout the SACE review becomes a major undertaking for the AISSA from 2007 to 2010.
