Year 12 or equivalent completion by young people • Target: 90% by 2010 • Current rate: 86.1% (2007) • Since 1999 the rate has improved - but more still needs to be done

Some priorities • Refining and improving data collection • Role of ABS • Role of Australian Curriculum Assessment & Reporting Authority (ACARA) • Role of COAG Reform Council • Building expertise: • Within government and school systems (including partnerships with researchers and universities): • Developing evidence based policy • Sharing evidence across Australia • Within schools • Working with governments and stakeholders to agree protocols for data reporting
