It seems that the ACT Government is set to reject $30 Million in Commonwealth education funding because, in Andrew Barr’s words “current system of continuous assessment is best for students.”
I would have thought a decision of that magnitude would have at least involved the formation of a committee (in true govt form) to consider the Commonwealths proposal of streamlining the ACT system with the rest of Australia.
However like many other Commonwealth initiatives at the moment this could be just another pre-election stunt by the incumbent Federal Govt. What do you think?
