OrganisationReferenced in 3 bills
Education (Overseas Students) Bill 2018
This bill modernises Queensland's regulation of overseas student education, introduces statutory oversight for student exchange programs, implements the new senior assessment and ATAR system for Queensland schools, and fixes an unintended ban on Easter Saturday trading in regional towns.
Education (General Provisions) Amendment Bill 2025
This bill amends Queensland's main education law to reduce administrative burden on schools, parents and students, and to strengthen student safety protections. It makes transfer notes mandatory when students change schools (implementing a Royal Commission recommendation), creates a streamlined framework for online learning services in state schools, modernises P&C Association rules for multi-campus schools, and extends home education eligibility to age 18.
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 voluntary career pathway that does not require leaving the classroom.
