  • The deputy premier knows the government is under pressure, but insists they are doing what needs to be done to turn things around.

The article from The Age discusses Victorian Education Minister Ben Carroll's reflections on the VCE exam crisis, where a significant error in the General Mathematics exam led to widespread student distress and necessitated a re-marking of all exams. Carroll, who has been in politics for 15 years, emphasizes his commitment to teamwork and problem-solving, traits he developed from his early days in student politics. He acknowledges the gravity of the exam mistake, expressing regret over the impact on students and their families, and outlines the steps taken to rectify the situation, including an independent review of the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA). Carroll also shares insights into his personal motivations, driven by a desire to serve and improve the community, influenced by his family's history of public service. He discusses his approach to leadership, focusing on listening, learning, and adapting, especially in crisis situations, and his ongoing efforts to enhance educational outcomes in Victoria.
