Making Decisions

This consultation has concluded.

The outcomes of students in the world's top performing schools show that systems that support school based innovation and decision making tend to perform better than those that don't.

In the NSW public school system some decisions are made centrally by the state office, some are made by regional offices and some are made by schools.

The NSW public school education system is relatively centralised compared to other Western systems, which limits the flexibility and authority of schools to make decisions that best suit their students.

To improve student learning we need to make changes so that:

Local decisions to improve teaching and learning are made by the school working with it's local community.
The right decisions are made by people in schools and across the system, who are accountable to manage resources and deliver a quality education for all students.
