Students with Disability

In reply to Dr CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (25 July 2019). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta—Minister for Education): I am advised of the following:

Across the Department for Education there are state transition programs which complement the programs that schools provide to assist senior secondary students with disability to successfully transition from school to post school. These state transition programs include Transition Centres and the Better Pathways Program.

Enrolment numbers of the state transition programs are below:

Program 2017 2018 2019
Transition Centres 199 158 170
Better Pathways Program 129 126 114


Students in these programs maintain their enrolment in a school. Individual secondary schools report in their annual reports the intended destination of their students.
