The Department of Education is responsible for the delivery of public early years and school education, adult and community education and library and archive services throughout Tasmania. The Department is responsible to the Minister for Education and Training, Hon Jeremy Rockliff MP.
The Department's services are focussed on providing Tasmanians with the opportunity to continue to learn and reach their potential, to lead fulfilling and productive lives and to contribute positively to the community. More broadly the services recognise that education is a key driver for both economic and social reform.
Service delivery is provided through the following areas:
· Early Years and Schools;
· LINC Tasmania; and
· Government Education and Training International (GETI).
Early Years and Schools educational services are provided through 12 child and family centres and 195 schools (including the Early Childhood Intervention Service (ECIS) and senior secondary schools). In 2015, services are provided to 60 391 full‑time equivalent students from Pre‑kindergarten (ECIS) to Senior Secondary. Educational leadership is provided through regional Learning Services with a focus on school improvement and the Government's key education priorities. Early Years and Schools is also responsible for the regulation of early childhood education and care services.
The aim of Early Years and Schools is to deliver on the Government's policy to lead the nation in education and create a job ready generation. Key priorities to meet this goal include:
· the continuation of extending schools in rural and regional communities to Year 12 to improve retention rates;
· continuing to provide opportunities for quality literacy and numeracy for all students from Kindergarten to Year 12 and achieve benchmarks above the national standard through targeted assistance by 25 literacy and numeracy specialists;
· strengthening the approach to career development in schools, and building on the general capabilities of the Australian Curriculum through the implementation of My Education;
· continuing to provide quality education programs and services for students and families living with disabilities;
· ensuring quality education programs and services for young children and their families, so they develop as confident and curious learners prior to commencing full‑time school;
· continuing to deliver Launching into Learning and support to families, especially in communities with the greatest need;
· continuing to enable students to successfully develop 21st century competencies as an integral part of Kindergarten to Year 12 curriculum implementation through the Early Years Learning Framework and Australian Curriculum;
· continuing to build a culture of respect and shared values which supports schools to focus on quality teaching and learning, leading to creative and innovative approaches that meet the needs of all students;
· a strategic focus on improving the quality of teaching using professional learning to build capacity for both school leaders and teachers; and
· the continuation of the implementation of the State's Fairer Funding Model, as part of the Students First education reforms, to ensure that resources are targeted where most needed across schools.
LINC Tasmania is a statewide network that gives Tasmanians access to library services, research and information, adult literacy support, community learning, online access, and archive and heritage services.
GETI brokers education services for international students looking to study in Tasmania. It also provides a diverse range of support services for international students while studying here, and manages offshore TasTAFE programs in Kuwait, the Philippines and China.
The Department also provides a centralised corporate support function to TasTAFE (a separate statutory authority).
This chapter provides the Department's financial information for 2015‑16 and over the Forward Estimates period (2016‑17 to 2018‑19). Further information on the Department is provided at www.education.tas.gov.au.

1. A complete list of Capital Investment Projects is available in the Capital Investment Program section Table 2.5.
2. The total includes cumulative additional Australian Government and State Government funding for the Government school sector under the Students First education reforms that commenced from 1 January 2014. Part of the Australian Government increase offsets funding that was previously provided through National Partnership Program funding. The Australian Government component is a provisional allocation to the extent that it is subject to finalisation of enrolments and loadings in each school year, as well as any refinements of the resourcing model by the Australian Government.
3. The 2015‑16 Budget estimate of $77.8 million is an increase of $21.5 million on the estimate for 2014‑15 of $56.3 million. The increase reflects funding already provided for under the Students First education reforms and an adjustment to the Australian Government base largely due to data corrections post the 2014‑15 Budget.
The Government has committed an additional $56.3 million over four years to a range of new infrastructure projects in schools and the LINC at Burnie. Further information is provided in the Capital Investment Program section of this chapter.
Funding of $170 000 has been provided in 2015‑16 to support the operation of an autism specific unit being piloted at Lindisfarne North Primary School which commenced earlier this year. This will provide one additional Advanced Skills Teacher to the School for three years.
The Government has a fundamental commitment to raising educational standards in Tasmania and to work with and support education professionals in the State. The focus has continued for Tasmania to be at, or above, the national standard in every single NAPLAN measurement and meet the national benchmarks in the next five years. Funding of $2.0 million will be spent in 2015‑16 which is the second year of the Government's election commitment that has employed 25 new specialist literacy and numeracy teachers. The specialist teachers are focussing on working with Year 7 to 9 students, who are performing below the national average minimum standard, by providing one‑to‑one and small group special assistance. They are assisting other teachers in the school to identify, develop and implement strategies and evidence based teaching practices to help students who are not meeting national standards. This targeted support, personal attention and coaching aims to engage identified students with learning and bring them up to a more acceptable standard in comparison to their peers.
The Government has committed to the introduction of a contemporary model of child and youth health nurses across all Tasmanian Government schools. In primary schools, nurses will focus on vision, hearing checks and nutrition, while in high schools, risk behaviours, mental health and sexual health will receive greater attention. Ultimately, school nurses will support school communities to create an environment that promotes lifelong health and wellbeing. A Director of Nursing has been appointed in 2014‑15 and 10 child and youth health nurses will be in place by July 2015 with 20 positions established by 2017. Funding of $995 000 will be expended in 2015‑16 with the expenditure commitment increasing to $1.7 million in 2017‑18.
The Government continues to deliver on its Students First education reforms funding commitment, providing the full $134 million of additional funding over the scheduled six years ($98 million for the Government Sector and $36 million for the Non‑Government Sector). Additional State and Australian Government funding levels for the Government sector will continue to provide funding for schools on the basis of need. Funding will also continue for program areas that continue and extend joint State and Australian Government reforms in workforce redevelopment, an improved and more consistent level of information technology access and platforms across schools, quality teaching, quality learning and empowered school leadership. In particular, for 2016, additional funding will be directed to the schools which are the most in need (including through the School Resource Package, applying the Fairer Funding Model). The additional funding will also support a new early years program, targeting areas with the greatest need.
Annual funding of $1.1 million is provided to enable teacher assistants in Government schools to take up to one week of additional employment during the school term. The one week of extra employment will provide valuable extra support time for teachers and students with the additional teacher assistance hours to be used to work directly with students, assist teachers pre‑class as students arrive and to prepare resources.
Funding of $180 000 has been provided in 2015‑16, which is the second year of a two year $280 000 project, to upgrade the Wynyard High School trades and manual arts facility. The upgrade and refurbishment of this facility will support program delivery to better meet the needs of students and teachers.
The Government has provided funding to extend 21 high schools to Year 11 and 12 in rural and regional communities by 2018. The funding is providing up to five new full‑time teachers in each high school extended to Year 12, with the initiative providing up to a total of 105 new teachers. Six schools: Scottsdale High School; Smithton High School; Huonville High School and Dover District High School in partnership; and St Helens and St Marys District High Schools in partnership, have each received additional teaching resource allocations under this commitment during 2015. A further six schools will commence the extension in 2016: Tasman District School; Campbell Town District High School; New Norfolk High School in partnership with Glenora District School and Mountain Heights School and Rosebery District High School. The funding allocation in 2015‑16 is $7 million.
A further capital allocation of $6 million over four years, commencing in 2014‑15, has been made available for necessary capital works and new classroom construction to assist with the implementation of this initiative. Funding of $2.9 million will be expended in 2015‑16 which includes $1.4 million to be carried forward from 2014‑15 for works at Huonville High School.
Funding of $50 000 will be provided in 2015‑16 to JLD Restorative Practices, which is the second year of a three year $150 000 commitment, to enable the delivery of restorative practice training to teachers and staff in primary and secondary schools and translate that training into practice. This initiative will assist with the management of problem behaviours and suspension rates.
The Department's specific deliverables from the 365 Day Plan, some of which have been outlined under the initiatives detailed above, are:
Quarter 1
· announce Round Two schools for Year 11 and 12 extension ‑ this is complete;
· introduce new approach to career and life education for year 10 students ‑ implementation is in progress;
· continue partnership with the University of Tasmania to establish a Centre for Educational Attainment;
Quarter 2
· commence the School Health Nurse program in schools ‑ this is on track for 1 July commencement;
· release the Government's response to the independent review of the education of students with disabilities;
Quarter 3
· call for expressions of interest from schools for Round Three of the Years 11 and 12 extension initiative;
Quarter 4
· final consultation on the penultimate draft of a contemporary Education Act following review and extensive consultation;

The Department has implemented an Output restructure for the 2015‑16 Budget which is effective from 1 July 2015. The new Output structure has been revised to better align with the Government's education policy and initiatives. The Outputs no longer distinguish between compulsory education and post‑compulsory education with Output Group 1 being renamed to Education from Pre‑Compulsory and Compulsory Education.
Other major changes to the Outputs include those detailed below.
· Output 1.2 Learning Services and Output 1.3 Education Performance Services have been amalgamated into a new Output 1.2 School Support Services. Additionally some of the cost of delivering these services has been transferred from Output 1.1 In School Education to the new Output.
· Output 1.4 Early Years has been renamed to Output 1.3 Early Learning.
· Output 1.5 Grants and Financial Assistance has been removed and split between Output 1.1 In School Education and Output 1.3 Early Learning.
· Output Group 2 Post Compulsory Education has been removed with the former Output 2.1 Tasmanian Academy and Output 2.2 Post‑Compulsory Education now amalgamated into Output 1.1 In School Education.
· A new Output 1.4 Statutory Offices has been created and incorporates the former Output 2.3 Tasmanian Qualifications Authority.
· The LINC Tasmania Output Group has changed from Output Group 3 to Output Group 2.
Outputs of the Department of Education are provided under the following Output Groups:
· Output Group 1 ‑ Education; and
· Output Group 2 ‑ LINC Tasmania.

Notes:
1. The 2014‑15 Budget comparative figures presented in this Table have been adjusted to reflect the Department's Output restructure. Accordingly, the 2014‑15 figures will differ from those published in the 2014‑15 Budget.
2. The increase in In School Education reflects the Students First education reforms and increased expenditure related to election commitments to provide School Health Nurses and to extend high schools to Years 11 and 12.
3. The increase in School Support Services in 2015‑16 primarily reflects expenditure associated with increased trust balances associated with School Support Services and the transfer of expenditure from In School Education as part of the restructure of the Department's Outputs.
4. The increase in Early Learning in 2015‑16 reflects the transfer of expenditure from In School Education as part of the restructure of the Department's Outputs.
5. The increase in Grants and Subsidies reflects increased grants to non‑government schools for the Students First education reforms.
6. The Capital Investment Program only reflects the non‑capitalised component of the CIP. The full CIP expenditure is outlined in Table 2.5 Capital Investment Program.
The services provided under this Output focus on the delivery of education to students in schools enrolled in classes from Kindergarten to Senior Secondary. The purpose of this Output is to provide a range of educational services that will help students develop intellectually, socially, morally, emotionally and physically in a stimulating, inclusive and supportive environment. The services provided under this Output are crucial to ensure that Tasmania's young people achieve the educational skills necessary to continue their education and training and become job‑ready and contributing citizens. The Output has a strong focus on improving the transition of students from Year 10 and retaining them, so that they gain a meaningful Year 12 or equivalent qualification.
The services provided under this Output focus on services provided to schools through Learning Services and Education Performance Services.
Learning Services works collaboratively with networks of schools to initiate and promote system level initiatives and directions. Learning Services has a key role in facilitating the sharing of resources, knowledge, innovation and learning between schools and across the State and responds to schools on the basis of their improvement needs.
Education Performance Services monitors and measures student outcomes in the pre‑compulsory and compulsory years of schooling including achievement against the national benchmarks established under the National Assessment Plan ‑ Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN). It also provides statewide support and advice for assessment and reporting, as well as information regarding teacher assessment using the standards of the Tasmanian Curriculum and the Australian Curriculum.
This Output has two points of focus. The first, through the Education and Care Unit, is for approving and regulating education and care services (long day care, outside school hours care and family day care) under national legislation. It is also responsible for the licensing and monitoring of all other child care services under the Child Care Act 2001. This Output also provides assistance and advice to education and care services. Funds are provided to eligible service providers as a contribution towards operating expenses and capital upgrades through the Education and Care Grants Program. The second point of focus is on services delivered through Child and Family Centres.
This Output provides for the operation of independent educational Statutory Authorities supported by the Department. It reflects operations of the new Office of Tasmanian Assessment Standards and Certification which will be responsible for Year 11 and 12 course development, accreditation and certification.

Notes:
1. Actual performance measures are based on calendar years. The measures for the 2012‑13 Actuals are based on the 2013 calendar year, while the measures for the 2013‑14 Actuals are based on the 2014 calendar year.
2. Sustained school improvement is long‑term in nature and will be subject to variations from year to year. School performance targets are set with this in mind. For example, targets for Years 3 and 5 reading are lower than 2012‑13 Actuals due to volatility in data as a result of measurement issues.
3. This measure represents the difference between the achievement for all Tasmanian non‑Aboriginal students and the achievement of Aboriginal students and has been established to meet the Council of Australian Government's goal of halving the educational outcome gap between Aboriginal and non‑Aboriginal students in ten years.
4. New performance measures introduced in 2015‑16.
5. Services are assessed against the seven Quality Areas, 18 standards and 58 elements of the National Quality Standard and ratings are published. The target based on all services is assessed and rated at least every three years.
6. The National Quality Framework commenced in 2012. As the system was new and untested, reliable data is not available for the 2012‑13 financial year.
7. Completion and participation rates are affected by economic circumstances and targets assume these circumstances, especially youth employment opportunities, will remain stable over this period.
8. Actuals are the total full‑time equivalent of senior secondary students regardless of age, at the Mid Year Census.
9. Apparent Retention Rate is a measure of the number of school students in a designated year of education expressed as a percentage of their respective cohort group in a base year. Figures relate to government full‑time school students. For small populations, like Tasmania, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) notes that relatively small changes in student numbers can create large movements in apparent retention rates. The ABS also notes care should be exercised in the interpretation of apparent retention rates as the method of calculation does not take into account a range of factors such as:
· students progressing at a faster or slower than expected rate of one grade a year;
· interstate/international migration;
· movement between the government and non‑government sector;
· enrolment policies; and
· students enrolled in alternative education and training pathways, such as vocational education and training.
Sustained improvement in retention is long‑term in nature and will be subject to variations from year to year.
This Output provides for the lifelong learning of all Tasmanians through the delivery of information, education and training, literacy support and other community services through the Learning and Information Network Centre network.
This Output focuses on the provision of Tasmanian Information Services and the management of Tasmania's Archival and Heritage Collection.

Notes:
1. A decline in enrolments in programs has been ongoing for some years and is unlikely to change, given pressures on discretionary income and increased offerings of courses from other providers. The targets are based on the number of enrolments required to achieve cost recovery.
2. This performance measure is based on the number of people receiving individually tailored support to increase their literacy skills.
3. In 2012‑13 there was an exceptional intake of digitised records into the State Archive collections. This level has not occurred since and has returned to a more standard level. As such, the target has been set at 50 000.
4. While each volume can include several hundred digitised pages, for statistical purposes each volume is counted as a single item. Items to be digitalised are selected in accordance with the LINC Tasmania Digitisation Policy and are considered a high priority for digitisation.
Table 2.5 provides financial information for the Department's Capital Investment Program (CIP). Further information on the CIP is provided in chapter 6 of The Budget Budget Paper No 1.

Notes:
1. The increase in Appropriation revenue ‑ recurrent primarily reflects the continued implementation of election commitments to provide School Health Nurses and to extend high schools to Years 11 and 12, additional State and Australian Government funding for the Students First education reforms and additional funding for the 27th pay in 2015‑16. The increase in Appropriation revenue is offset in part by the reduction in Grants due to reduced Australian Government National Partnership funding.
2. The movement in Appropriation revenue ‑ works & services reflects the timing of capital projects being undertaken by the Department.
3. The decrease in Other revenue from government in 2015‑16 reflects the level of expected funding to be carried forward under section 8A(2) of the Public Account Act 1986 from 2014‑15 for Capital Investment Program projects that were not finalised in 2014‑15.
4. The decrease in Grants across the Forward Estimates reflects the finalisation of Australian Government National Partnership funding to the State.
5. The decrease in Sales of goods and services in 2015‑16 reflects reduced estimated revenue receipts within the Department's trust accounts including reduced sale of Departmental assets.
6. The increase in Interest in 2015‑16 reflects the estimated interest receipts based on the 2013‑14 actual.
7. The increase in Depreciation and amortisation in 2015‑16 reflects the estimated depreciation expense based on the current valuation of Property, plant and equipment.
8. The decrease in Grants and subsidies in 2015‑16 reflects the cessation of grant payments resulting from the finalisation of Australian Government National Partnership funding to the State.
9. Changes in physical asset revaluation reserve reflects the revaluation of Land and Buildings.
10. Other movements taken directly to equity in 2014‑15 reflects the transfer of assets associated with Skills Tasmania to the new Department of State Growth.

Notes:
1. The 2014‑15 Budget comparative figures presented in this Table have been adjusted to reflect the Department's Output restructure. Accordingly, the 2014‑15 figures will differ from those published in the 2014‑15 Budget.
2. The movement in In School Education primarily reflects the continued implementation of election commitments to provide School Health Nurses and to extend high schools to Years 11 and 12, additional State and Australian Government funding for the Students First education reforms and increased salary expenditure due to the 27th pay in 2015‑16.
3. The increase in School Support Services in 2015‑16 primarily reflects the transfer of expenditure from In School Education as part of the restructure of the Department's Outputs.
4. The increase in Early Learning in 2015‑16 reflects the transfer of expenditure from In School Education as part of the restructure of the Department's Outputs.
5. The increase in Grants and Subsidies reflects increased grants to non‑government schools for the Students First education reforms.

Notes:
1. The increase in Commonwealth grants to non‑government schools reflects increased Australian Government funding to non‑government schools under the Students First education reforms.
2. The movement in non‑government schools: grants reflects the State funding to non‑government schools under the Students First education reforms. Post the 2014‑15 Budget, the Australian Government undertook a major data update exercise which reduced the 2014‑15 amount payable by the State, under the Students First methodology, below the 2014‑15 Budget estimate detailed in the Table.
This Grant Program represents Australian Government funding relating to non‑government schools. These funds are administered on behalf of the Australian Department of Education and, upon receipt, are forwarded to non‑government schools.
These grants provide funding to non‑government schools and non‑government school authorities for assistance with eligible capital projects in accordance with sections 64 ‑ 70 of the Education Act 1994.
The Program covers the cost of grants which are distributed to registered non‑government schools in accordance with Part 5, Division 3 of the Education Act and Part 6 of the Education Regulations 1995. Since the implementation of the Students First education reforms funding allocations that had previously been provided to non‑government schools under the Student Assistance Scheme are now included within this payment.

Notes:
1. The increase in Receivables in 2016 reflects a revised estimate based on the 30 June 2014 actual outcome.
2. The decrease in Assets held for sale in 2016 reflects an updated estimate based on an analysis of the timing of property sales.
3. The decrease in Property, plant and equipment in 2016 reflects a revised estimate based on the 30 June 2014 actual outcome and broad predictions for the revaluation of land and building assets to occur as at 30 June 2015. Property, plant and equipment has also reduced due a change in the reporting classification for library books, which are now reported as Other assets. This is partly offset by increases in Buildings, net of accumulated depreciation, due to an increased Capital Investment Program, which also contributes to the increases from 2017.
4. The increase in Intangibles in 2016 reflects a revised estimate based on the completion of the Data Warehouse 3 project. Intangibles are systematically amortised over a period of four years.
5. The increase in Other assets in 2016 reflects a change in reporting classification for library books. These were previously included under Property, plant and equipment.
6. The decrease in Payables in 2016 reflects a revised estimate based on the 30 June 2014 actual outcome.
7. The reduction in Employee benefits in 2016 reflects a decrease in accrued salaries resulting from the 27th pay in 2015‑16.

Notes:
1. The increase in Appropriation receipts ‑ recurrent reflects the Students First education reforms and increased expenditure related to election commitments to provide School Health Nurses and to extend high schools to Years 11 and 12 as well as increased salary expenditure due to the 27th pay.
2. The movement in Appropriation receipts ‑ capital reflects the timing of capital projects being undertaken by the Department.
3. The decrease in Grants across the Forward Estimates reflects the finalisation of Australian Government National Partnership funding to the State.
4. The decrease in Sales of goods and services in 2015‑16 reflects reduced estimated revenue receipts within the Department's trust accounts including reduced sale of Departmental assets.
5. The increase in Interest received in 2015‑16 reflects the estimated interest receipts based on current actual trends.
6. The increase in Employee benefits and Superannuation in 2015‑16 reflect the impact of the 27th pay (refer to Chapter 1 of this Budget paper for further information).
7. The decrease in Grants and subsidies in 2015‑16 reflects the cessation of grant payments resulting from the finalisation of Australian Government National Partnership funding to the State.
8. The increase in Payments for acquisition of non‑financial assets reflects increases in the Capital Investment Program.
