About the VCAA Review

At the Minister for Education’s request, the Secretary of the Department of Education has established a full Independent Review of the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA) in response to issues arising from the 2024 Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) examinations.​

Dr Yehudi Blacher PSM has been appointed as the Lead Reviewer and will be supported by expert advisors to review how the VCAA delivers on its critical functions.

The Review will:

The Review will examine all elements of the VCAA’s responsibilities and operations including but not limited to: ​

• Early Childhood Education curriculum ​
• Victorian F-10 curriculum​
• Victorian Pathways Certificate (VPC) curriculum and assessments​
• Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) curriculum and assessments​
