SCHOOLS OF THE AIR
639. Mr V.A. CATANIA to the Premier:
I refer to the government's
backflip on the closure of Schools of the Air announced on 11 January this year
and reports that no consultation has been undertaken regarding Schools of the
Air's structural model for 2019. Can the Premier rule out moving
Schools of the Air's offices from regional locations to Perth?

AnswerView source ↗

I am unaware of what the member is
referring to. Schools of the Air will continue to be funded. I am unaware of
any offices, organisations or functions of that nature being moved to the city.
I am aware that School of Isolated and Distance Education operates from the
city and I would like it if the School of Isolated and Distance Education and
Schools of the Air worked more cooperatively together. That is one of the
things that of course should continue to happen. I am unaware of what the
member is referring to.
