(1) The Member has cited a savings measure from an internal Department of Education spreadsheet "3% Efficiency Dividend as per 2009-10 Budget Paper No. 2".
This spreadsheet was originally constructed in January 2009 and is no longer being used internally or externally to make decisions on particular savings initiatives.
The contents of this spreadsheet are now of historical value and do not represent my views regarding future savings. Savings initiatives, such as that identified by the Member, for the current financial year (2010-11) and future years are currently being determined through the Budget process.
Nevertheless, please note that the Learning with ICT program was consolidated into the Online Curriculum Services program.
