Research evidence indicates three key features of the Victorian school system that need to be addressed. There is a high concentration of poor outcomes in some schools and some regions. These schools and regions face the challenge of dealing with a diverse range of student needs. They need to address core learning areas, build cultures of high expectations, and attend to associated issues of absenteeism and student transitions. Within a given school there are frequently high variations in outcomes between classes. This points to the centrality of the teachingâlearning relationship. This relationship is influenced by the quality of teaching, school and team leadership, and the school culture and environment (including its relationship with its community). There are variations in outcomes between schools with similar student populations. This shows that schools can improve, and there is a need to look towards the factors that build school performances and build a culture of continuous school improvement. This evidence provides the foundation for the strategies and initiatives to reform the Victorian government school system that are outlined in this Statement. These initiatives and strategies have been informed by the consultation process. They are also directed by the approach that the Victorian Government has taken to the overall management of the government school system. [Introduction, ed]
