Narre Warren South electorate
Gary MAAS (Narre Warren South) (14:36): (73) My constituency question is for the Minister for Education and concerns the reforms to school-based vocational education. Minister, could you please provide further details on how the reforms to vocational education will benefit secondary schools and students in my electorate of Narre Warren South? I understand that the VCE vocational major and Victorian pathway certificate have replaced the Victorian certificate of applied learning this year. It is important to offer our students more choice and flexibility in their studies to ensure that they have more opportunities and pathways into the industries that match their talents and passions. Our schools need any available support as they strive to prepare our children for life and work after their studies. I would appreciate any further information on how the reforms to school-based vocational education will benefit the schools and students in my electorate, and I look forward to sharing the minister’s response with my community.
