OrganisationReferenced in 2 bills
Education (Overseas Students) Bill 2018
This bill makes four unrelated sets of changes: it modernises the regulation of schools providing education to overseas students, creates a new statutory framework for student exchange programs, implements major reforms to senior secondary assessment including external exams and ATARs from 2019, and fixes an error that banned Easter Saturday trading in regional towns.
Education (Queensland College of Teachers) Amendment Bill 2019
This bill establishes a formal process for recognising exceptional teachers through 'Highly Accomplished Teacher' and 'Lead Teacher' certification. It empowers the Queensland College of Teachers to assess and certify teachers in State and Catholic schools against national professional standards, giving experienced educators a career pathway that doesn't require leaving the classroom.
