Literacy and numeracy consultation

Should students have to meet minimum standards of literacy and numeracy to be awarded the VCE or VCAL?

The Minister for Education, the Hon. James Merlino MP, has asked the VCAA to consult widely in investigating this important matter and report back with findings and recommendations by the end of August 2018.

The VCAA has written a consultation paper on this issue, which provides background information and a focus for discussion, and can be downloaded from the VCAA website.

VCAA CEO, Dr David Howes, welcomes a broad range of contributions in this consultation: ‘I encourage all teachers, principals, students and the wider community to respond to the paper or attend one of the consultation events.’

To have your say:

  • attend one of 15 consultation events in metropolitan or regional Victoria
  • submit a written response by email, online survey or mail.

Responses must be received no later than Friday 18 May.

Please refer to Notice to Schools 26/2018 for details.
