GLASS CEILINGS
391. Hon DONNA FARAGHER to the Minister for Education and
Training:
We have had this question for some
time but it was recently updated.
I refer to the minister's
response to question without notice 1210 asked on 22 November 2018 regarding
the upgrading of original plaster glass ceilings at schools built before 1970.
(1) Have remediation or replacement
works been completed at all 99 school sites; and, if not, why not?
(2) If not, which
schools are still waiting for these works to occur and will the minister advise
the time frame for these remaining schools to have the necessary improvements
undertaken?
