School Curriculum

In reply to the Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (26 June 2024). (Estimates Committee A)

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

Staff within Curriculum and Learning have been reassigned to adapt the Australian Curriculum V9, instead of undertaking the work that would have been required to adopt and implement it.

Preparation of the curriculum has involved 38.3 FTE, comprised of 42 staff from the Department for Education's Curriculum and Learning division. Of these, 24 staff are seconded teachers and 39 were already employed to prepare curriculum resources and units of work. Three new seconded teachers were employed to lead delivery of the government's mathematics improvement priority.

Supporting this work was over 1400 South Australian public education teachers and leaders who shared their views through consultation activities including focus groups and feedback sessions supported by temporary relief teacher funding. Additionally, the department has collaborated with Educators SA and a range of leader and learning area associations, including the two leading SA principal associations, South Australian Primary Principals Association and South Australian Secondary Principals' Association.
