INDEPENDENT PUBLIC SCHOOLS
1092. Hon SUE ELLERY to the Minister for
Education:
(1) Will there be any further
application rounds for independent public school status in 2015?
(2) How many schools applied in 2015
and how many were granted?
(3) When will the next round be?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1)–(2)
No. There is no selection process in 2015. The development and selection
process undertaken in 2014 resulted in a record 178 schools becoming
independent public schools at the start of 2015.
(3) A decision
regarding the next selection process is under consideration. What I will say is
that there will definitely be another selection process. I am just, at the
moment, working on when that will be.
