description
The Centre for Education Statistics and Evaluation (CESE) is Australia’s first dedicated hub for in-depth analysis of education practices and their effectiveness using reliable data and knowledge. CESE plays a critical role in guiding New South Wales through a period of reform; introducing skills reform and improvements to early childhood education and care, and plans to improve teaching quality and school decision making. CESE provides sound evidence upon which policy makers and educators can focus teaching and learning priorities and target investment to meet current and emerging needs for New South Wales teachers, students, parents and families, industry, and learning institutions in an increasingly sophisticated and competitive global framework. CESE commissions, conducts and manages projects to assess education program effectiveness and efficiency; from early learning, through schooling, and vocational training and higher education.

The NSW Commission of Audit has pointed to the need for change…
“NSW lacks a rigorous framework for evaluating the effectiveness of government spending and whether it offers value for money.
Consequently, there is little or no transparency on what agencies achieve with their expenditure.
The Commission is of the opinion that effective and sustainable expenditure in large part hinges on greater transparency of government expenditure, including robust and systematic program evaluations for both existing and future programs.
The importance and value of better program transparency should not be underestimated.”

Education is 22% of the NSW Budget
“…there is a severe budget constraint and government must prioritise its activities.
Government should not do things that others can do more effectively, and what government does must be done efficiently.”
