Year 12 completion rates plummet under Labor.
Alarming new Australian Bureau of Statistics data has exposed Queensland’s Year 12 completion rates have plummeted under the Queensland Labor Government.
Shockingly, just 73% of students are completing Year 12, down from 85% since Labor came to government in 2015.
The longer Labor is in government, the worse our education outcomes become.
These shocking results are another sign Labor is losing control of the education system and failing to deliver the world-class education our students deserve.
On Labor’s watch, fewer students are completing high school.
Labor’s Education Report Card is in, and they have failed in every subject:
-
- Failed to deliver the 7,329 additional teachers and teacher aides they promised.
- Failed to keep our teachers and students safe from violence in schools, with 20% of students reporting they don’t feel safe while at school.
- Failed to keep drugs out of our schools , with an average of 43 suspensions every day.
- Failed to meet a single educational outcome target across reading, writing and numeracy, through years 3, 5, 7, and 9.
- Labor has failed to deliver a comprehensive teacher workforce strategy or plan to educate our growing population.
Queensland students are paying a high price for Labor’s wrong priorities.
Labor’s chaos and crisis is pulling teachers out of the classroom.
Labor’s chaos and crisis has delivered a teacher shortage and failing education system.
This is what happens when a government fails to properly resource and manage our education system year after year.
Only the LNP has the Right Priorities for Queensland’s Future, including boosting student-to-teacher ratios and de-cluttering the curriculum so teachers can teach.
Lifting literacy and numeracy outcomes is the LNP’s priority, because it’s Queenslanders’ priority.
