1. Please refer to Tabled Paper.
2. None. From 2015, schools are resourced through the Student-Centred Funding Model enabling local decisions about the employment of specialist teachers to support the literacy and numeracy needs of students. Prior to this, schools were able to use their School Support Programs Resource Allocation (SSPRA) to appoint specialist teachers for the same purpose. Between 2010 and 2014, schools funded through the Literacy and Numeracy National Partnership may have also chosen to appoint specialist teachers to assist literacy and numeracy improvement.
