We understand that the burden of compliance in education can take precious time away from teachers and principals.
Workloads for teachers and staff have increased because of the growing compliance burden.
That is why CSNSW developed Better, Smarter Regulation through a program of consultation, collaboration and advocacy.
The report
The Better, Smarter Regulation report identifies four priority areas for reform:
Teacher accreditation
- Simplifying the pathway to teacher accreditation while continuing to improve teacher quality.
Financial compliance
- Supporting better financial accountability through streamlined financial reporting.
Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on Students with Disability
- Promoting better support for students with disability by giving teachers more time to focus directly on students.
School governance
- Better supporting school principals by providing more time to focus on the core mission of schools.
Recommendations
The recommendations in the report identify a more proportionate and flexible regulatory approach that maintains a strong emphasis on transparency and accountability.
We continue to engage with the NSW Government and the Commonwealth Government to progress these solutions.
