The proposal would see The Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA), The Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL), The Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO) and Education Services Australia (ESA) consolidated under one central body.

In last month’s budget, the government announced $5.6 million to undertake work on the proposal to establish the TLC.
