It ensures that by 2017, all federally funded schools had moved to the new national requirements for planning and accountability, rather than operating under previous state-based or transitional arrangements."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/australian-education-consequential-and-transitional-provisions-school-improvement-framework-and-plan","history":"/api/acts/australian-education-consequential-and-transitional-provisions-school-improvement-framework-and-plan/history","analysis":"/api/acts/australian-education-consequential-and-transitional-provisions-school-improvement-framework-and-plan/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/australian-education-consequential-and-transitional-provisions-school-improvement-framework-and-plan/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/australian-education-consequential-and-transitional-provisions-school-improvement-framework-and-plan/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/australian-education-consequential-and-transitional-provisions-school-improvement-framework-and-plan/documents"}}
