Summary Note Findings include: "The Department faces the potential loss of thousands of staff over the next few years with around 35 per cent of the teaching workforce reaching notional retirement age in the next five years. Around 53 per cent of school teachers are aged 45 or older, 27 per cent of permanent teachers are aged 55 or over and over 72 per cent of TAFE teachers are 50 or older ... The Department has an estimated maintenance backlog of $548 million. The Department should work with NSW Treasury to establish an appropriate response to backlog maintenance ... The Department of Education and Communities has twenty-four performance targets for early childhood through to tertiary education. Seven of these are either not being achieved or unlikely to be achieved. Primary and secondary school children’s reading and numeracy results are over 90 per cent but are not meeting the targets for improvement. The proportion of school starters with the necessary literacy and numeracy skills is not increasing. Targets for young people in further education, training or employment are unlikely to be achieved along with the proportion of 20-24 year old rural and regional students completing year 12 or the equivalent. The percentage of people reaching the target level of tertiary education is also unlikely to meet its target." p. 6-7.
