South Australia’s Strategic Plan is comprised of 100 targets. These targets are specific and measurable and enable us to measure our progress towards achieving the Plan’s visions and goals.
Each target is reported on through this section of the website. Data is analysed and uploaded as it becomes available.

Key Measure
Target History
This target has been modified to measure the raw number of students studying maths and science subjects, rather than the proportion of students.
Although this target may appear less ambitious, given that SACE students now only undertake four subjects and science and maths are no longer prerequisite for entry into most university courses, it is still a stretch target.
