Chief Minister and Education Minister Paul Henderson has unveiled an Education and Training Strategic Plan for the next three years. “I want every child to leave school with the skills to go to uni, or get an apprenticeship or job,” Mr Henderson said. “This is a practical, commonsense approach which will improve results as part of our plan to be a Smart Territory. This is a step by step Plan to better education and training, backed by concrete targets and resources. Our kids deserve the best education and training – and that’s what this Plan delivers.” The strategy is based on three main themes:
* the expectation of success;
* the meeting of clear numeracy and literacy targets; and
* improved attendance."
