Generational change for the ACT school system, as recommended in the new resourcing review, will be an important step to ensuring schools meet the needs of all students. Achieving this change will be important, but an uphill battle.
After it was revealed more than 80 per cent of ACT schools would go over budget, annual reports showed the directorate spent more than budgeted on staffing for eight years in a row.
In September, education minister Yvette Berry said the directorate would make adjustments to the budget and was able to top up spending without question.
