Please take the time to fill in this questionnaire on education.

Question 1:

Do you have children at school and, if so what age(s)?
Are you a grandparent or carer of school aged children?
   

Question 2:

What do you think the Territory Government should do to improve the education of
Territory children?
   

Question 3:

Currently there is limited classroom support in primary schools with teachers’ assistants in the classroom. Do you support having more teachers’ assistants in primary school classrooms?
   

Question 4:

Do you support resources being used to test children’s hearing and sight processing?
Would you make use of free school based testing?
   

Question 5:

Do you believe early intensive work with children who have behavioural problems will
make a difference to their learning and their future?
   

Question 6:

Do you agree that intensive work with students who have behavioural problems will
assist in lifting education for all students by reducing classroom disruption?
   

Question 7:

There are over 600 students in the Territory that have been identified as having serious behavioural problems. Do you believe that the increased use of psychologists in our primary schools will assist in early identification and treatment of children with behavioural problems?
   

Question 8:

Do you support the establishment of ‘last chance’ schools for children who would
otherwise be suspended so that they can continue their education and address their behavioural problems?
   

Question 9:

Did you know that children who have dyslexia are sometimes not recognised until later in their primary years of education and that when they get missed, they mostly never catch-up to their class mates?
   

Question 10:

Do you support the use of ‘boot camps’ as a tool to address the behaviour of older kids who break the law? What skills should the ‘boot camps’ teach?
   

Thank you for taking the time to complete this questionnaire.
