Restoring confidence in VCAA STAFF WRITERS   THE state government is overhauling the Victorian Curriculum Assessment Authority to provide full confidence to Victorian students, families and schools. Deputy Premier and Minister for Education Ben Carroll has announced the government will accept all the recommendations of the first stage of the root-and-branch review into the VCAA conducted by Dr Yehudi Blacher, and will appoint a new chief executive and interim board to lead the VCAA. Andrew Smith will commence as VCAA chief executive from June 1,2025. Mr Smith is the current chief executive of Education Services Australia, and has a wealth of knowledge of the education sector, starting his career as a teacher and school leader in the Victorian government school system. Stage 1 of Dr Yehudi Blacher’s report into the 2024 VCE exam errors determined the root causes of the unintentional disclosure of examination content. The government has accepted all recommendations and is acting swiftly to deliver them. In line with those recommendations, the government has reconstituted the VCAA board and instated an interim board that will oversee the VCAA for the rest of 2025. The interim board includes Tony Bates, Acting Secretary of the Department of Education, Professor Elizabeth Labone, chief executive of the Victorian Catholic Education Authority, Rachel Holthouse, chief executive of Independent Schools Victoria and Jane Brockington, an independent member who is a risk and audit specialist. Mr Smith and the interim board will oversee the implementation of the Blacher Review’s other recommendations, including increasing accountability and risk management for the exam development and publication process end-to-end, and stopping the publication of cover pages. This work will be supported by the Independent Monitor Margaret Crawford, who was appointed late last year to oversee all aspects of the preparation of the 2025 exams. The government is already taking steps to make the necessary changes at the VCAA to implement seven of the recommendations for this year’s exam period. The government will also work towards piloting the development of an examination repository for select subjects. The second stage of Dr Blacher’s review is a comprehensive review of the VCAA’s structure, operations, culture and capability. Stage 1 of the Blacher Review is available at: vic.gov.au/blacher-review-vcaa
