General Note
An erratum sheet included in the paper copies notes that the 1st paragrpah on page 10 should read: "The New South Wales Government announced $345 million to support the State's arts and culture sector in its 2011-12 budget. The major institutions mentioned above, excluding the Historic Houses Trust, will receive $272 million, which is 25 per cent more than in 2010-11. The funding includes both recurrent and capital. The government's 2011-12 budget requires an annual 1.5 per cent efficiency dividend from these agencies. Management need to continually identify new efficiencies and/or new ways of increasing income to meet operational needs and business objectives." The online copy already includes this amendment.
Summary Note
Some of the observations made by the Auditor-General include: "The Department's computer system replacement project has been deferred to ensure it will meet future business requirements. The first phase of the ... project failed to provide all expected benefits" (p. 44). "New South Wales Government Schools received $3.5 billion in Australian Government Building the Education Revolution funding. Total estimated cost of the BER program expected to be within the original budget" (p. 45). "New South Wales' Year 12 retention rates are 4.7 per cent below the national average" (p. 48). "The Department has installed Interactive Classrooms in 2,024 schools. 192,000 laptops have been issue to students" (p. 53). "The Department provided $828 million to non-government schools during 2011. In 2011, the New South Wales Government provided an average $2,177 per non-government school student" (p. 54). "Statistics show that 44.4 per cent (44.5 per cent) of school teachers are aged 50 years and over and the Department advises many of these employees may retire over the next six years" (p. 56). "[TAFE] Enrolments have increased by 11.8 per cent while training hours delivered has risen 9.8 per cent since 2007. TAFE NSW advised this is due to an upward trend in higher level qualifications, with a 26.8 per cent increase in the number of enrolments in qualifications at Certificate III and above over the same period. In 2010, 46.3 per cent of all enrolments were in these higher level qualifications compared to 40 per cent in 2006" (p. 62). "There has been a 51.4 per cent increase in Aboriginal student enrolments [in TAFE] from 2006" (p. 62).
