 Tim McCURDY (Ovens Valley) (15:57): (1440) My question is to the Minister for Education, and I ask it on behalf of Justin Elliott, who is one of the fantastic school teachers in the Ovens Valley electorate. The concern is with regard to the rise in private tutors. He wonders what qualifications, registrations or mandatory training are required in this field. When families employ tutors to assist their children in particular areas of study it is important to know that they actually have some sort of accreditation to ensure that measured education for our children seeking a little more assistance, which happens in many circumstances, because we know students learn at different speeds. I am seeking information from the minister on accreditation procedures.
