Public education—management

Discussion of matter of public importance

MR SPEAKER: I have received letters from Mrs Burke, Mrs Dunne, Dr Foskey, Mr Gentleman, Ms MacDonald, Mr Mulcahy, Ms Porter, Mr Pratt, Mr Seselja, Mr Smyth and Mr Stefaniak proposing that matters of public importance be submitted to the Assembly. In accordance with standing order 79, I have determined that the matter proposed by Mr Smyth be submitted to the Assembly, namely:

The management of public education in the ACT.

MR SMYTH (Brindabella) (4:10): The management of public education in the ACT is a very important subject for all members of our community. It does not matter whether you have school-age children, whether you are in a school or not, or whether you are an employer or an older Canberran; I think we all wish to know that, for the money that we spend and for the time that our students spend in their schools, they are getting the education and the opportunities they deserve.
