Blueprint for Education and Early Childhood Development

Setting the Direction

Goals

We intend to achieve our priorities by the following six ambitious goals for Victoria’s children and young people:

  • All Victorian children will have the best start in life to achieve optimal health, wellbeing and development.
  • By the time Victorian children start school they will be ready to learn at school and schools will be ready for them.
  • In year 3, Victorian students will have the basic literacy skills to provide a foundation for their future learning, and support will be in place for those who do not.
  • In year 5, Victorian students will have the basic numeracy skills to succeed in mathematics, and support will be in place for those who do not.
  • At age 15, Victorian students will excel by national and international standards.
  • Victoria will further increase the number of young people completing year 12 or equivalent.
