Teachers and principals have consistently reported that compliance requirements take precious time away from teaching. Teacher workloads have increased because of this compliance burden. This report addresses this burden and recommends solutions that allow teachers and principals more time to focus on their students.

The findings and recommendations seek to provide the government and its agencies with a pathway to reform the following priority areas: 

1. Teacher accreditation: Simplifying the pathway to teacher accreditation while continuing to improve teacher quality.
2. Financial compliance: Supporting better financial accountability through streamlining financial reporting.
3. Nationally Consistent Collection of Data (NCCD) on Students with Disability: Promoting better support for students with disability by giving teachers more time to focus directly on students.
4. School governance: Better supporting school principals by providing more time to focus on the core mission of schools.
