I have got no issues with raising concerns about curriculum. There has been ongoing discussion—there was discussion when I was doing my teaching qualification—in terms of curriculum. But it is erroneous to say that the curriculum causes the problem. Curriculum is a tool; it is not the cause of the problem.

In closing, Mr Pratt raised the issue of bullying. There are frequent examples of proactive approaches to ensure safe learning environments in the ACT. A number of schools in the ACT have won awards for the anti-bullying practices they put in place. That is an issue that needs to be addressed as well, but I am about to run out of time.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

The Assembly adjourned at 6.27 pm.
