How We Measure Our Success

Reporting progress

The department uses a set of indicators and measures to evaluate outcomes and assess how well we are meeting our objectives. Through monitoring and measuring our performance, we are better able to understand and demonstrate the impact we are having on the educational outcomes in the Victorian community.

The department’s indicators are published in the 2022–23 Victorian State Budget Paper 3[1]. The department reports progress across our outcome performance measures in the Annual Report, available on the department’s website [2]. The Annual Report also provides a summary of the progress in implementing each of the initiatives outlined in this strategic plan.

Evaluation

Evaluation is fundamental to continuous improvement and for building a solid evidence base that enables policies and programs to meet the needs of all Victorians. The department continues to strengthen its evaluation culture by undertaking regular reviews that inform policy, program and service improvements.
