Tasmania's education system undergoes independent review due to low year 12 attainment rate.

Tasmania's education system faces an independent review, as it trails national averages and has a 53% year 12 attainment rate (second worst in the country). The review, led by Vicki Baylis of Education Services Australia, will assess demographics, socio-economic factors, and the relationship of all education levels. Education Minister Jo Palmer acknowledges "real concern" areas in the system but questions the accuracy of attainment figures.
