The Interim Commissioner for Children and Young People Isabelle Crompton today welcomed the release of the Independent Review of Education in Tasmania’s Final Report to the Tasmanian Government.
“As the review findings demonstrate, educational engagement flourishes and outcomes improve when students are truly supported and empowered to actively participate in their learning,” Ms Crompton said.
“What is immediately clear is that the Independent Review has been informed by and benefited from the views and experiences of hundreds of Tasmanian children and young people.
“I applaud the report’s clear recommendation that our children and young people be ‘partners in their learning’ experiences and school improvement.”
Ms Crompton said the Report comes at a critical juncture, with the Tasmanian Government undertaking wide-ranging reforms to improve outcomes for children and young people for generations to come.
“Now, the Tasmanian Government must take every effort to carefully plan for, implement, monitor and evaluate the necessary changes, including how it will maximise opportunities for young Tasmanians to be partners in the reforms and agents for change.”
