The Chairman of BCCE, Bishop Gregory O’Kelly SJ, said the there are six essential recommendations regarding NCEC into the future. They are as follows:

“The size of NCEC will be reduced to a total of sixteen members, including an Executive Director.

“The Executive Director will be the spokesperson for NCEC and responsible for negotiations with Government and other national bodies.  BCCE recommended this position as it is in line with the leadership model that operates in State Commissions.“

  1. Brings it into the 21st century and makes a lot of sense, especially in its dealings with government, both federal and state. Our education system in Australia should be universal and not be divided by any continuance of state division. It also benefits the children of those parents who, for many reasons, relocate move without disruption to their education.
