In response to the Minister for Education and Training's Blueprint for Government Schools, the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA) is currently developing a new framework of essential learning for all Victorian schools in both government and non-government sectors.

Victorian Essential Learning Standards
http://vels.vcaa.vic.edu.au/

The Victorian Essential Learning Standards describe what is essential for all students to achieve from Prep to Year 10 in Victorian schools. The Learning Standards provide a framework for schools to plan the whole school curriculum by setting out standards for students to achieve in core areas. In 2005, schools will use the Learning Standards to plan their teaching and learning programs, including assessment and reporting of student achievement and progress, for introduction in 2006 and beyond.
