Effects of Bill:
This bill being passed means that... A previous bill meant that the VCAA had to employ mostly permanent staff; this is possibly a backpedal to allow the VCAA to employ its usual 4000 casual staff to mark Year 11 and 12 exams
This bill being passed means that... From the Second Reading Speech: "The proposed amendments to Part 2.6 of the ETRA will clarify that the definition of “early childhood teacher” in this Act includes only those “educators” who hold an approved early childhood teaching qualification."
