OFFICERS
615. Hon SUE ELLERY to the
Minister for Education:
What is the current projection of
the number of Aboriginal and Islander education officer positions to be reduced
in public schools in 2014?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member for some notice
of this question.
In any given year, Aboriginal and
Islander education officer positions are allocated to schools when there are
sufficient enrolments of Aboriginal students. Depending on enrolment, the
amount of time allocated for each AIEO can vary. It is anticipated that there
will be a reduction of the equivalent of 105 full-time equivalent AIEO hours
attached to schools across the state in 2014.
