The Language, Literacy and Numeracy Programme (LLNP) was an initiative of the former Department of Education, Employment and Workforce Relations (DEEWR) to provide language, literacy and numeracy training to people experiencing difficulty entering the job market due to low levels of language, literacy and/or numeracy. The Programme assisted people from non-English-speaking-backgrounds and people with literacy and/or numeracy training needs. Prior to entering the Programme, a pre-training assessment (PTA) was conducted to determine the client's language, literacy and numeracy competencies and confirm the appropriateness of the Programme for the client. The PTA was reported using the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF) indicators of Learning, Reading, Writing, Oral Communication and Numeracy. This case study focuses on a regional LLNP provider which offered ESL, literacy, numeracy and learning skills programs to members of the local community and surrounding areas.

In response to the deteriorating economic conditions brought about by the global recession, the Australian government announced the Jobs and Training Compact. The Jobs and Training Compact offers a range of training, support and local initiatives aimed at reducing the impact of the economic downturn. This document details the evaluation strategy for the Jobs and Training Compact. The aim of the evaluation is to assess whether the Jobs and Training Compact achieves its objectives by assessing its overall performance and the performance of its major elements. Reflecting the range of initiatives involved, performance is measured in terms of access to services, take-up, maintaining labour force attachment, boosting employment opportunities, participation in education, skills acquisition and community value. The evaluation will be structured around the Jobs and Training Compact's three broad target groups of retrenched workers, youth and local communities. The scope of the evaluation covers those initiatives within the three compacts which are managed by the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations.

The Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) in consultation with the Indicator Development Group of higher education experts has developed a discussion paper on the framework of indicators that could be used to negotiate targets with universities for the purposes of performance funding for teaching and learning. In the 2009-10 Budget, the Australian government announced that performance funding will be made available to universities as part of the higher education reform package. The funding is intended to assist institutions in maintaining attention on the quality of teaching and learning and student outcomes at the same time as there will be rapid growth in the sector. Universities will be allocated performance funding on the basis of institutional targets negotiated as part of compacts and set against a framework of indicators. The indicators will be related to the quality of teaching and learning, the student experience, participation and attainment.
