About this Submission

NSW Business Chamber welcomes this opportunity to comment on issues related to the Review of the Board of Studies, Teaching and Education Standards (BOSTES).

The Chamber’s education policy agenda has primarily been about improving outcomes for the 60% of school leavers who do not go to university immediately after school. Our suggestions cover the curriculum, the leaving accreditation, literacy and numeracy capability, careers advice, the structure of the final years of schooling and the integration of vocational education and training with schooling.
