Education System
In reply to Mr PISONI (Unley) (24 March 2015).
The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Higher Education and Skills): I have been advised:
The Member for Unley has been provided with extensive information (43 documents, over 500 pages) on this matter as a result of his Freedom of Information (FOI) application to the Department for Education and Child Development requesting:
Access to any documents (including memos, emails and any other correspondence) referring to South Australia considering, costing and/or moving Year 7 from primary schools to high schools.
I am advised that these documents refer to an estimated capital cost to move Year 7 students to secondary school of between $150 to $300 million, depending on the model of change. I am also advised that the documents refer to a recurrent annual cost in the order of $29 million, based on the figures provided in the documents.
