The ACT Government believes every child deserves a great education and the life chances which flow from it. The Future of Education Strategy is a road map for continued focus and investment.
Future of Education is a 10-year strategy for the ACT to guide all parts of our education system to support and deliver excellence and equity in educational outcomes for each and every child and young person.
The vision of the strategy is to build a future-focused education system that equips children and young people with knowledge, skills and understanding to prepare them to embrace the opportunities and face the challenges that are emerging in our rapidly changing 21st century world.
The strategy is based on four foundations: to place Students at the Centre, support Empowered Learning Professionals, create Strong Communities for Learning and enhance Systems Supporting Learning. The principles of Excellence, Equity, Access, Agency, and Inclusion underpin all that we do.
The Future of Education closely aligns with Set up for Success: An Early Childhood Strategy for the ACT creating a comprehensive and integrated vision for education from birth to 18 years in the ACT.
The Strategy stemmed from a conversation with the ACT community and an analysis of issues by a range of education and community experts. Some 5,000 people took part in the consultation, including 2,400 students.
