The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector): The Minister for Education, Training and Skills has advised:

Funding has been committed to the Entrepreneurial Learning Strategy in 2022-23. The five schools are working together to ensure there is an ongoing focus on entrepreneurial learning in government schools by providing the following resources and support which will be accessible by all government schools:

Development of curriculum materials and resources to support any school to implement and embed entrepreneurial learning in sites.

Development and delivery of a professional development series that will be promoted to all schools so they can implement entrepreneurial learning and sustain it in their school.

Consideration of future expenditure is done when it is applicable and within the established budget process.
