(ii) did the assessment include confidential feedback from teachers, other school staff and parents; and
(A) if not, why not;
(iii) did the assessment include an examination of Independent Public Schools’ NAPLAN results or any other educational measures; and
(A) if not, why not; and
(c) if an assessment has not been undertaken, does the Minister intend to undertake such an assessment; and
(i) if not, why not;
(ii) if so, when will this assessment be undertaken; and
(iii) if so, will the Minister commit to releasing a full report on the assessment; and
