The discovery phase of the ACER review of the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF) and the Digital Literacy Skills Framework (DLSF) is now complete.
The next project phase will launch with an online survey and two online discussion forums.
Online survey starting 11 March 2022
The survey will help the project team understand your views on a range of matters relating to the two frameworks, as well as assessment tools based on the ACSF. It will focus on how the frameworks are used and any changes that may be needed to the frameworks – or the tools that are used to support them – to ensure that they are fit for purpose. The link to the survey will be available on the project webpage from 11 March: https://www.dese.gov.au/foundation-skills-frameworks-review-project
