QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the Liberal election promise to cut district education office numbers from 14 to six, consisting of two metropolitan and four regional offices, and ask:
(a) does the Minister intend to keep the promise to reduce district education offices to the numbers stated; and
(i) if not, why not;
(b) will fulfilment of the election commitment to cut district education offices from 14 to six contribute to the 3% efficiency dividend; and
(i) if so, how much will be saved;
(c) when the 14 districts are cut to six, how many of the full-time equivalents (FTEs) currently in district education offices will be cut and will the people themselves be redeployed or sacked;
(d) of those to be redeployed, if regionally based, will that redeployment be outside their home town; and
(e) if the number of district education offices is to be reduced to a number greater than six:
(i) will this reduction contribute to the 3% efficiency dividend; and
(A) if so, how much will be saved;
(ii) how many of the FTEs currently in district education offices will be cut and will the people themselves be redeployed or sacked; and
(iii) of those to be redeployed, if regionally based, will that redeployment be outside their home town?
