Education Funding

Mr GARDNER (Morialta) (14:33): My question is to the Minister for Education. What is the status of the government's 2013 literacy and numeracy plan, titled 'Great start, strong foundations, powerful learners: a literacy and numeracy strategy from birth to 18'? Does that document still represent the government's strategy, or is there a new strategy that has superseded this document?

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Higher Education and Skills) (14:33): To the best of my knowledge, that is the name of our current strategy. I don't hold the full titles in my head at all times, but we have had a literacy and numeracy strategy in place for some time. The question is not just to have documents about what we do and how we spend the money. The more money we have the better job we can do.
