Auditor-General's Report

In reply to the Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (3 November 2022).

The Hon. B.I. BOYER (Wright—Minister for Education, Training and Skills): I have been advised:

Chapter 3 focuses on classroom and student support, including classroom school services officers (SSOs) early childhood workers (ECWs) and allied health professionals (AHPs).

These employees work directly with children and students in roles other than teaching or educational leadership roles and who provide support for teachers and for student learning and development.

The Chapter 3 employee cohorts represent approximately 30 per cent of the department's total workforce.
