AnswerView source ↗
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1)–(2) The
2015–16 target has been met. As the Department of Education's
2015–16 budget is higher than in 2014–15, the department will
absorb the target in 2015–16. Savings are being made in other areas of
the department's operations including its insurance premium, teacher
housing and transport costs, and superannuation to assist it to offset the
savings required. The workforce renewal policy will not affect schools during
the 2015 or 2016 calendar years.
