Advancing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander education: An action plan for Queensland
The
Advancing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander education action plan for Queensland aims to empower Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and students to make a great start, achieve their full learning potential and shape their own futures. The action plan presents a vision for achieving excellence and celebrating, valuing and building on the strengths of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures. Through the actions in this plan, we will:
- further improve kindergarten participation
- lift school education outcomes
- develop culturally appropriate teaching and learning resources
- provide professional development opportunities for staff.
By working together, these important initiatives will contribute to delivering a better and brighter future for Queensland’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and students.
