P t ‘ t d l ki ’ i i t

Promote an ‘outward looking’ ministry Prioritise ‘teaching service development’ Accelerated learning ‐ ‘sustain’ and ‘re‐position’ in

Support for ‘watch dog’ Vs executive functions Stronger promotion of government led coordination Stronger promotion of government led coordination
