According to a recent report on education from the Commissioner for Children and Young people (Vic.) in 2023 children in out-of-home care were being expelled at five times the rate of other children and only a quarter were progressing from year 10 to year 12. The Commissioner made 47 recommendations to address the issue and says that the government’s reaction has been unsatisfactory.
